You cannot stop it... but, you can work to correct it.


I propose we fight fire with fire.  They have their enormously expensive CI implant.  We can offer the enormously expensive ASL implant.   Assuming the cost of a CI is $50,000.  We will charge $50,000 to implant a full and complete ASL language chip inside each child's brain.  This will allow the child full and complete access to language and knowledge.  Although the child will still need to learn English (just like with a CI), they will be 10 times further ahead in their education and be stronger, more confident individuals.


Then we will proclaim in all the countries newspapers that a miraculous new implant is available for the deaf children that will give them unprecedented access to language and knowledge.  research will be done to "prove" our point, studies will be done to "show" success... We will also show how there is NO risk of meningitis, NO risk of death from surgery, NO risk of implant rejection, and NEVER any need for explanation.


The "ASL chip" is really an allegory for for the teaching of ASL.
