Anyone here think this is a good idea?

EDIT: Just wanted to come back and EDIT this thread OP to say that Skillethead on the other board explained the relevant material and showed me that the department head was actually arguing the opposite of what the alarmists assumed she had said. In essence.. that while "accented English" is arguably NOT something that should be penalized.. using reasonably proper grammar could HELP with that. She was arguing FOR teaching proper grammar and NOT abandoning it in some effort to be more inclusive of "accented English".
In other words, I was 100% wrong to assume the alarmists were onto something here.
