Pope Benedict XVI….Could you….?

Pope Benedict XVI…..Could you…?

On TV, we observed that you saw the Deaf Choir signing which was seen by millions and millions of people around the world.

And was it beautiful?

 But did you realize that ICED, International Congress on Education for the Deaf and AGBAD, Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf  banned sign language from the deaf community since 1880 in Milan, Italy?

Since 1880, Deaf people have unfairly been treated as being “disabled” by depriving them of using natural, visual sign languages.

Could you convince AGBAD and ICED to give back the Deaf people’s natural visual language(ASL).

Instead of eliminating sign language completely, they should have added oral method ideology as bilingual ideology.

But for 128 years, ICED and AGBAD were shamed under the eyes of GOD!

And now the Deaf community ask you, Pope Benedict XVI to convince ICED and AGBAD that the Deaf people want their language back, but still can have their effort to give speech ideology as long as they stop the bias approach of “oral only method.”

Bilingualism is the reality-based answer for deaf people, here in America and all over the world.
