You asked a valid question. It's about time deaf community start learning how to lobby the politicians and the government. We've been apathetic for far too long.
Admittedly, I'm not an American, but I daresay that deaf communities around the world has some things in common they want done.
I think they should put 100% CC on TV, theaters, political videos, advertising. Oh yes, also they should start passing law, like Megan's law or something in New Jersey, to ensure HA's be provided to children because not everyone could afford it.
And yes, it's time to start lobbying to make every state schools for the deaf and deaf programs to go bi-bi and the way they could do is to get the funding.
It would be absolutely delightful if they could outlaw Oralism for deaf children, but it'll remain a wishful dream.
It wouldn't hurt if they (politicians) stopped listening to AGBAD and start listening to the deaf community as whole because AGBAD and such organisations does not represent us.
