But is that ready to accept the idea of having a new law to protect ASL will affect whole education of the Deaf and will lead to improve the education of the Deaf and would not confuse ASL or Oralist but strenght the position of ASL far better!Platonic's Eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429962318720397105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696461118314848250.post-27278520783896985482007-04-02T14:37:00.000-04:002007-04-02T14:37:00.000-04:00I pondered about Carl Schroeder's comments last we...I pondered about Carl Schroeder's comments last weekend on John Egbert to be kinda logical whether AGB was guilty of practicing "racism" against the Deaf people of the late 1800s and early 1900s. <BR/><BR/>Too bad, Carl Schroeder never found any opporunity to defend his agrument about AGB being a racist on Ebgert's blog on this blog. <BR/><BR/> AGB's attempts to ban the intermarriage of deaf people and undermine the deaf education with the use of sign language were not classified as "racism". <BR/><BR/> Carl Schroder probably was right all along the way about AGB engaged in the concept of racism. <BR/><BR/>RLMRLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03944804788920891331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696461118314848250.post-49462564346413574582007-04-01T15:27:00.000-04:002007-04-01T15:27:00.000-04:00Don't forget that the terms "race" and "racism" ha...Don't forget that the terms "race" and "racism" have different uses depending on the context. It's possible to use it in the context of talking about the genetics of deafness, although it's a good idea to explain clearly what is meant.Gallaudet Protest Legal Issueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966719716412682448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696461118314848250.post-37763729935850148552007-03-31T11:49:00.000-04:002007-03-31T11:49:00.000-04:00Many thanks for your compliment, Der Sankt.

I just found that word in Wikipedia and there are 4 categories that cause the death of language. Please read below that I copied from Linguicide's Wikipedia.<BR/><BR/>Which one below that applies to AGB's nefarious method on our own language.<BR/><BR/>1. imposition or prohibition of a language by state authorities <BR/><BR/>2. linguistic competition (e.g. English vs. French in scientific publications) <BR/><BR/>3. natural decline in populations that speak the language <BR/><BR/>4. a colonial era language overwealming the indiginous people's languages, i.e. The Americas and Oceania. <BR/><BR/>Keep up with your blogs and some day in the future hope you can vlog!<BR/><BR/>DeafchipDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843913237044532178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696461118314848250.post-49970877340045866252007-03-31T02:27:00.000-04:002007-03-31T02:27:00.000-04:00Wow!

I really never thought about the video novel(s) in ASL. <BR/><BR/>You surely have an excellent imagination/vision of futurism like the French futuristic visionary, Victor Hugo! He also envisioned the existence of fax machine and mobile television screen on the wristwatch and elevators in ahead of his time. <BR/><BR/>You kinda embolded the image of me swung "Yay!" on PBS's documentary - "Thru Deaf Eyes" from the video excerpt of DPN nighttime rally. <BR/><BR/>You were one of very few individuals noticed me from this documentary. :)<BR/><BR/>RLMRLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03944804788920891331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696461118314848250.post-68765647854301484612007-03-31T01:00:00.000-04:002007-03-31T01:00:00.000-04:00Who will be the first great ASL novelist, and be l...Who will be the first great ASL novelist, and be like, "the Victor Hugo of the North American Deaf Community"? It might be possible to do now, with computer technology, to write "video novels" in ASL. <BR/><BR/>We need something a major literary star of this caliber to help achieve better what Robert is proposing, to be able to say "Nay" to the naysayers in a very convincing way (and say "Yay!" to the "yaysayers" at the same time.)Gallaudet Protest Legal Issueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966719716412682448noreply@blogger.com
