Yea, I took my daughter with me to take the dog for a walk and I was signing to her. I guess some hearing teenagers made obnoxious remarks about it cuz my daughter had tears in her eyes. I asked her what was wrong and she told me that thsoe kids called us "Deaf and dumb".
That's why we need to do away with the audists attitudes from the professionals in the medical field and oral deaf education field cuz the general public gets the misconception that sign language is for people who are dumb.
