I think the Internet (and vlogs) is a big part of what enabled Vancouver 2010′s repudiation of the 1880 Milan resolutions. The Deaf community was more connected internationally and communications were done via vlogs as well as emails and blogs. The lobbying for ICED to repudiate the Milan Resolutions were unsuccessful beforehand because the Deaf community wasn’t linked internationally via Internet to the degree it was in 2010. I think the differences in past ICED conferences lie in the countries where the conferences were hosted. Canada is much more progressive than many other countries. These are just a few factors I could identify, although I’m sure there are many others that haven’t been identified and analyzed.

Why did it take so long for ICED to repudiate the 1880 Congress of Milan resolutions? Good question . . . I’d like to answer that in “For Hearing People Only.”

Is there a website that has an answer to question “How come it took so long to reject an 1880 resolution?” ?

Forgiveness is great in unifying and pulling together the opposing opinions in early childhood education of deaf children. Forgiveness should heal the damage that was done by inappropriate philosophies that affected lives, families and employment as well as community attitudes.

However, forgiveness comes with an expectation: that the damage be undone as far as possible. All the people involved need to admit the validity of each other’s positions, acknowledge the harm that the differences have caused, and be willing to work toward a unifying accord and healing.
