The whole original point of calling it "ebonics" is that people started trying to teach it to school children in the 90s.
I think the advocates call it "African-American Vernacular English". Ebonics is the term used by opponents of teaching it.
Ebonics was the original term. It obviously took on a bad connotation, so a new term had to be invented. Acknowledge that AAVE exists is just as ok as acknowledging other regional English dialects. But there was a genuine attempt to "teach" it to elementary children. Which is just as dumb as teaching my regional dialect as "proper".
Here's a quick Google search result, but I restricted the search to 1995-1999, which is super fun to do for any topic from the birth of the www onward. https://www.pbs.org/speak/seatosea/americanvarieties/AAVE/hooked/
I agree that teaching it is stupid, only disagree that your regional dialect is any less "proper" than standard English. It's just historical contingency that yours is not standard and the dialect of the London area is.
