Should it be an option of birthright? I'm Deaf and an ASL user. I notice some perceptions bordering on fascism.

I already knew that you might used wrong word choice or something like that, and reading Jean's comment at Ella's vlog affirms my thought. English is also my second language, and oftentimes when I used poor word choice in email correspondences with some hearing friends. To look at it at another way, maybe it was supposed to happen anyway. There has been apathy for a pretty while. All of sudden, someone used wrong word choice which sparked many of us into discussions! I thank for that :-) I find it somewhat amusing that some people suspected that there are hidden agenda behind that, but really it was only a bad word choice. Still, they refuse to believe it. If they want to stay down there, staring at small pictures, by all means, stay down there. In my eyes, you are our "Rosa Park." Hello- First, I want to thank you for starting the spark!

It is very, very difficult for L2 (second language, English) to understanding, writing and/or reading the English because English has so many complication rules that we couldn't keep up because we can't hear. Hearing people can keep up with new English stuff by hearing through radio, people's conversation, phone, school, etc. Deaf people are behind with English structure. For me I long to learn how to write English, but of course, impossible perfect English. It can be easily to misunderstand what sentences say or said. John, I am glad that you clarified to what you had said about censorship and deficit thinking. Yeah, English is our second language.
