Dey, dis, dat, da otha
1) Student turns in paper with above mentioned usage throughout.
2) Teacher/Professor destroys the paper, gives student an F.
3) Student cries racial or cultural bias to the school.
4) Media gets ahold of the story.
5) School folds and changes the grade to an A.
This is bound to play out soon.

I would hope not, but seeing some of the crazy stuff that's come to pass in the past few months, it wouldn't surprise me.

I know an elementary school teacher and the teachers at her school received a speech about statements like "I be going to the store" is acceptable speech because the way these kids and their families use that kind of speech follows rules. Rules that actually contradict English, but bc they use that language in a consistent manner it is "acceptable"
EDIT: and therefore they're not allowed to correct it

Depends on what the paper was about. If it was supposed to be artistic, personal, etc, or if used as quotes, I agree with a change of grade and only if he received an F for dis, dey, etc. If the paper included proper grammar as a grade component, then I disagree with the change.
I don't think it was racist.

This is a good example. If students learn that it's acceptable in elementary school, they will complain if that changes when they move up. Door is opened.

Was this geared towards the students' speaking or their writing? If was for the former I see nothing wrong, imo. Now the latter I'd think would be ridiculous.

I disagree with this appoach so much. It is the schools' job to teach proper English and writing, even more so to kids who learn incorrect English.

Did you actually intend for us to guess how long it will be?

How long until "e" is omitted from the word "language?

I know this "difference vs. Disorder" argument came up back in the PC 90s era. That was regarding spoken language only.
If a student were to put it down on paper, in writing, that was a different story. Incorrect grammar, syntax, and using made up words was a F.
