Before thinking about Gee’s text in a different perspective, Delpit agreed with most of Gee’s standpoints in literacy. Her first opposition to Gee’s text was “Gee’s notion that people who have not been born into dominant discourses will find it exceedingly difficult, if not impossible to acquire such a discourse” (Delpit 547). Delpit disagrees with this as she believes that he implying that success comes from genes and socioeconomic placement. “Gee’s argument suggest a dangerous kind of determinism as flagrant that espoused by the geneticists” (Delpit 547). This quote from Delpit is saying that based on Gee’s theories, your success in certain areas can be predicted by your genetics and where you come from. She is suggesting that Gee’s theories are pro-white and claim minorities will be less successful. Jordan’s test would fit into this objection because she, in her classroom, attempted to expose the class to the dialect of “black English”. “Nonetheless, White standards of English persist, supreme in the United States.” (Jordan 364). This sentence from Jordan explains how the idea of white English and culture dominating society in the United States is not a new idea, but something that is well known to not only deep thinkers, but anyone who is able to see the injustice.
