This is all a great debate and I really enjoy that people express their views.

But there is nothing new about bigotry, and if that is the new idea I'm being sold I'm not buying. I've been though enough of it in my life and it pains me to see people who have gone through what I have gone through using the same logic to make excuses for it.

That's my idea and that is what I'm contributing to the conversation without malice.
 
also, simply the way most high school and above classrooms are set up- rows or other types of "bunches" as opposed to a circle <visual access>; people don't even think about an alternative to the rows. This as opposed to - when I took ASL classes at local d/hh center, taught by DOD, she/we spent a good amount of time prior to class setting up tables and chairs and getting the angles and arrangements just so, so everyone had the best chance of being able to see eachother <the room was a multi-purpose mtg. room and the center in all honesty serves a number of different deafness-related purposes, it's not a Deaf-led org. as far as I can tell, therefore, the room situation>.
 
I guess I haven't read that anyone is saying it's new-

Ahhh I see now. Seems like you have experienced discrimination FROM the deaf and you think of it as reverse audism. So when PFH said "It doesn't exist", no wonder why you were like omgwtfbbqnoob!

You seem to be the only one here making excuses for it.
Doesn't require malice to be audist.
 
I wonder if dogs consider people HoH? :giggle:

Ah, these valuable thoughts that keep me up nights...

We've gone through terrible things and those terrible things can have an affect on us, but part of the reason we understand it is wrong isn't the pain it caused, it's the reason why it was caused. Sometimes that is forgotten which is understandable, but eventually, if we are not careful, it turns us into exactly what we hated.

But yet the audism is still having a negative effect on deaf children's upbringing and education.

I know the cats I grew up with as a kiddo knew something like that. Why? They would never be meowing at me for food in the morning. Instead, they always went and meowed in parents bedroom. :wave:

I think my cat(s) knew I couldn't hear them. But they still ended up meowing at me for other situations though like they forgot. :lol:
 
Deafism:
I attended a Deaf camp to learn sign language. While there, I had an allergic reaction to something. A Deaf staffer came over to me with a hearing friend who is bilingual. The staffer asked me what was going on and I tried to sign but not being able to think, walk, sign, or breathe made it a fair bit difficult. So I looked at the friend and asked her to interpret but the deaf staffer interrupted and said, "No, you HAVE to SIGN what's going on!"

Being refused an interpreter in the middle of a medical emergency. One would think a Deaf person would be the last one in the world to cause that to happen.
