tongue to the motherland

You know something, I have an affinity for learning languages.

It doesn't not matter what the language is. Of course like many other people I want to learn Spanish, and I would like to improve my French.

I am often amazed as to how much credence French is given in Haiti.

Yes, I know that parents instilled in us the value of an education, and every Haitian correlates that to being fluent in French.

But I am here to say that French in Haiti is the colonial language.

Just as our last names are in french, so is the language that we desperately want to speak.

As far as we are concerned we kicked the French out of Haiti over two hundred years ago. I wonder how much adulation the French feel for knowing that after two hundred years we are still clinging for attachment, and a sense of belonging to them. How many educated Haitians who are able to read and write Creole by the standardize system?

Although we have been free for so long mentally we are still in bondage.

I am not calling for a rejection to the french in Haiti, but I am proposing for Haitians to give Creole the same status as French.

If the Haitian goverment want to recognize both languages then I should give both equal treatment.

Freedom is associated with being independent, therefore lets remove the shackles by being proud of Creole, growing our own food, respecting our traditions, building our own roads, and providing security for our own people.

It is my belief that when we start doing that Haiti's educational system will finally have a solid foundation.
