In my view, I think all deaf/hh children should be exposed to both and then when they are adults, they decide for themselves whether to be a proud member of the Deaf community or not. Doesnt bother me.
It is about hearing people telling us that we should meet their communication needs, getting CIs or HAs, or having to be a part of their world because it is the majority.
My question was...why?
If Deaf people are happy using only ASL, dont have speech skills, dont interact with nonsigners, or dont have HAs or CIs...what's wrong with that?
