I am very much against audism, because audists think they know all about deafness and for the life of me why do they know about deafness, if they have never been deaf themselves. :scratch: I really don't like them to force us to take speech and lipreading if the deaf child could not handle them. As for me, I went through that in both mainstream elementary schools and high school without sign language, and oh, I was mad at the hearing principal of the hearing high school that he had the gall not understand how difficult it is for us to suffered in a hearing classroom with no accommodations trying to lipread. 
I feel much better get my chest off on a rant. sorry, guys. :smile:
