Free the Dialects of Nurture

          Living in the USA, the country famous by its diversity of cultures, and not appreciating the dialects people bring with them is not okay. It is basically telling people that their roots do not matter here. Everybody should have a right to express their inner self through whatever language they want. The special issue of CCC raised a question if students should own their varieties and dialects of nature. I strongly agree, students must have a right to use their dialects in their academic works, because they are the ones to put a piece of themselves in their work.
        If teaching that identity is important but at the same time not allowing students express themselves in whatever language they feel comfortable in is not fair. CCC states: “We affirm the students' right to their own patterns and varieties of language -- the dialects of their nurture or whatever dialects in which they find their own identity and style.” Student that feels comfortable in his work is the student who will show their writing abilities to the max.
         America as a nation that varies with so many cultures should be the biggest supporter of dialects brought down by student because, “A nation proud of its diverse heritage and its cultural and racial variety will preserve its heritage of dialects.” So may all the students in this country be free to express themselves with their dialects and language variety.
