I also agree with this.
Another thing I want to point out. Parents want what's best for their child right? I do believe that Oral only will more likely to bring out the "prodigy child" they've always wanted ("normal", "successful", "fits in") BUT if I am not mistaken, this is rare and causes way more bad than good for the majority of deaf children. When someone says "What about all those children that don't do well with oral, they fall behind. That's why we need these ASL-based programs for the deaf, so that the majority of deaf children will develop at a natural rate." This implies that those programs are of the "catch-all" types. Think of it this way: A parent with a hearing child has a choice between a high rated high school (money is no issue) that has a history of excellent success for the students to get into a good college vs a local high school with an average grade with a handful of graduates entering a good college. Most students (80%) who attempt to go to the high rated school fail after a year but most students who go to the local high school graduate. To choose the local high school would be like admitting "I don't think my child can be one of those top 20%". Not only that, but the parent must be convinced that if your child would have done well in the high rated school, s/he would also do well in the local high school too.
Hope my analogy makes sense? (It sounds kind of elitist, putting down deaf programs, but that is NOT intended.)
