Answer:

The Oakland School Board declared that ebonic is a language

Explanation:

First, we need to know what is Ebonics, the true language of black folks, it represents how the West African, Caribbean and Unites States combines the formal rules of African language.  

So, in 1996 in the Oakland School a controversy happened called “Oakland Ebonics” because California passed a resolution concerning the ebonic linguistic. The Oakland School Board declared that ebonic is a language so they could have more status.

The new resolution says Ebonic is a primary language for many African-American students. However, students will study standard English. But they wanted to train teachers to recognize ebonics.

Sveta_85 [38]

The correct answers are B, C, and F.

C) Creating a powerful secret police force: In order to maintain control of the population, this type of government entities look to <em>keep people constantly afraid</em>, and one of the tools they use is terror. Whether its using a secret police that acts as vehicle of oppression, or also using other kind of armed forces that serve the purpose of creating a sense of constant threat.  

F) Forbidding the practice of organized religion: Communism and Totalitarianism conceive themselves as a <em>potential replacement for the entities of faith</em> that a free country may decide to praise as another tool to ensure their grasp on power. Keep in mind that while totalitarianism is driven to establish itself as a new religion, Communism sees it more as an instrument of domination of the masses.
