    Code Switching vs Code Meshing

    My podcast takes a look at the realties of code switching and encourages code meshing in formal settings. Specifically code switching and code meshing is talked about in the context of black students speaking Ebonics in the classroom. In this episode we dissect why code switching is racist, how it perpetuates stereotypes, and limits the flow of knowledge in the classroom. Instead of code switching, I propose code meshing. Code meshing encourages students to speak in the language natural to them. Through code meshing we can work on destroying stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding Ebonics.
