Once again, you are the one that continues to make the comparison, and all else is in response to yor comaprisons. How is insisting that a child learn English oppression. Insisting that a child not be placed in a situation where they can acquire L1 language in order to facillitate the learning of English is opressive. Your statement makes no sense.
Yes, loml, why make it such an ardous task? It has been supported historically and empirically that it is easier for a deaf child to learn English when they have acquired ASL as their L1 language. If anyone is making the learning of English an ardous task for the deaf child, it is the oralists, and that would include the visual oralists.
