It is the Biased Ideology/Philosophy

Many hearing/deaf people now are coming out to speak what they believe is best for deaf children after their years of experience growing up deaf or parents raising their deaf children into adulthood.

They all have different views. Some rather promote the ideology how some successful oral child were able to achieve the ability to speak, but many others speaking up about how some biased ideology/philosophy have already ruined their potential of having good English language, the deprived of cognitive language to learn how to learn. And the parents that have realized American Sign Language should have been taught earlier to have the cognitive language to learn how to learn speech successfully for their deaf child.

As for me, a successful oralist, my speaking ability, from the perspective from hearing people and interpreters, say that I am “actually” a hearing person. And yes, I can talk on the phone too, despite of my 90 db. And I choose to speak up as unbiased person.

Yes, I have chosen to speak up for many of the deaf people in the Community that have been deprived.

I believe that every parent have the right to choose what is best for their child. And I believe that every parent should have the opportunity to learn from all unbiased resources.

Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf is a biased resource organization and I choose to be unbiased resource human being. I have nothing against speech/oral “accessory” education and AGBell/Volta Bureau choose to be biased to be against visual/sign language for deaf babies and school children.

What is important that we all need be unbiased but the problem is that the biased group (i.e. AGBell, AVT, etc) that have the leverage of having millions of dollars to promote their biased ideology.
Money does the talking.

You also have the choice, the right to choose, to be biased or to be unbiased.
