When I found out thru Amy Cohen’s news via her vlog,
I was stunned and said what!! whoa… watched her vlog again to be sure I didn’t misunderstood in the first place, and sure enough it was happening! Now let’s see what happens in the Deaf Education in Canada!! Time has come and ASL is our language!!
it is about time that they realized their biggest mistake from 1880 milan conference! I have a feeling that they must have carried that huge mistake with them for a long time!
Thanks Shelley for sharing this and Amy s too

I much agree with reasonable skepticism noted in this blog as well in others including mine as well. I do not intend to damper not hamper spirit of final, pah pah finalllllly recognition after all these 130 years.

Ironically..my family and I happen to be in Black Hills, South Dakota at the same time when all this triumph was so euphorically celebrated. What I saw in the Black Hills is what I see to be too akin to post modernism of ruination of so much… I do not entirely buy it.

We always must remain guarded and fervently keep on pushing for signed languages, that those which are by nature heritage, nothing more or less truly a highly cognitive functional to par. There will be still people so adamantly denial continuing to do all means, consciously or if not, still unconsciously stall efforts of partnership and support for full linguistic rights, that is those natural signed languages as one of two languages because they are just too selfishly comfortable prospering too well to be conscionable. After 5:00 p.m. most of them do not care. They don’t even think about how parents’ misguided free choices often end up in continual neurons’ firing blocking each other. They are rather too deaf to listen and keep on profiting this way.

Shel, I’m glad the word “reject”, as in reject the tenets of the 1880 Milan document, carried the most weight with you.

It did for me, too. It is far more important that this body of respected educators worldwide REJECTED the Milan edict that dominated so much of the past one-and-a-hird centuries. A simple apology or an expression of regret doesn’t do it for me. REJECT is decisive, because it repudiated and denounced that tragic resolution that ruined so many lives.

I appreciate the crafter(s)’s language in the statement. They used a lot of powerful and forceful verbs as depicted in the statement. A verb like “reject” is much more eye-catching than a noun like “apology.” Journalists, as I had learned in a journalism class, use more powerful and forceful verbs.

I wonder whether or not anyone in the audience had asked Mr. McLaughlin TO ELABORATE “ensure that educational programs accept and respect all languages and all forms of communication”

This is a great v/blog! Looking forward to watching/reading your next v/blog.

À la prochaine!
