Oh my god. Thank you so much for sharing with us in our deaf community. I am familiar about A.G. Bell, he is so evil and I never like him! I made a film that talk negatively about A.G. Bell and I’d love to share my film with you. I have not upload my film in the website, but I will leave my film link here when I look up this blog again.

Yes, it’s time to Protest A.G. Bell and we should collect all evidences in archives and many things to share the nation to see how deaf people suffering in our world.

It’s time to step up and fight!

Well, it is very new form of Deaf Bilingual Coalition, I have not seen any big controverisal issue through the intellectual debates or building up issues that would support the arguement. I think it is too early or too immature to stand up against AGBELL organization instead of building up the strenght position involving with political but I do not see that much strenght instead of making a finger point at AG Bell, I respect those people express their opinions about AG BELl, but look at your DBC does not have strenth fountain basis to build stronger organziation. I am not sure about DBC’s credibility, They need the goal, purpose, money, get to know what is that for! Nobody who is well known people speak out through DBC? I think it is too early to say at that point! DBC is needed to clarify their position!

You are so right..even my mom who graduated from High School in 1945 had excellent english and she was profoundly deaf. I’ve always wondered why did the Deaf’s English go down rather than up? You hit it on the nail.

Thank you for being courageous enough to tell the truth! As the hearing parent of a deaf son who I raised bilingually despite the oralists telling me how much harm I was doing to him, I applaud you!

I am in the same shoes as you are. Grew up oral and whenever I showed an interest in sign language, I was told that I was too smart for it and didnt need it. Now, I learned ASL and realized how much I missed out growing up due to my inabilty to read lips in every situation. It made me mad that I was denied sign language.

I am interested in joining the protest so pls email me on more information on what can I do.

Thanks!
