“Ok I’m gonna say it… I’m a radical I believe that deaf children deserve a family who can sign in an official language. I believe that all children deserve ASL AS THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE. I believe parents who deprive their deaf child of ASL are actively neglecting their child.”
#sign languages#appropriate to wherever they live#audism#child neglect#emotional abuse#<--- keeping tags#true though#ASL#BSL#etc etc#Deaf people problems#i think OP meant 'all *deaf* children deserve ASL as their native language'#but wouldn't it be great if everyone got to learn it all their life#then when you find out your kid is deaf#suddenly no problem#or you lose your hearing later in life#no problem#you have a Deaf neighbour? no problem#universal design!
