Video: Audism at Gallaudet University in American Sign Language.
Out of the entire world, within the walls of Gallaudet University Deaf Space. Profound Audism occurred. SimComm destroys both ASL and English. Audism also destroys respect for Deaf people and their Deaf World especially at Gallaudet University.
I experienced profound Audism in Gallaudet University out of all places in the world. A place where the environment is safe for all Deaf people. This intrusion of SimComm and voicing is very irritating. I was not even angry at all at first. I wanted to give positive exposure to the fact it's not a good manner and that it is very disrespectful to Deaf people in general when hearing people SimComm, talking with the voice, using cell phones, etc.
I was hoping for dialogue and discussion to bring better understanding, respect and knowledge, but instead, this hearing student who claim to be a Coda got up and yelled at me with such profound venom, disrespect and hate. Such display of profound oppression has left me shocked and loss of words and thoughts. It even affected my friends at the table.
What hurts me more is that there are other Deaf people there who agreed with me, but sat and did nothing to stand up against Audism. I was even more shocked with the level of apathy. Are we so oppressed and thinking it's so difficult to fight it and we give up and just succumb to it?
I need your help to put an end to Audism from hearing students and put an end to apathy of Deaf people or their lack of courage to stand up for ASL and Deaf World.
My vlog is not an attempt to degrade or belittle other people most especially the hearing group/Coda I was referring about. My point was to bring this up to discussion and to raise awareness of Audism and acknowledgement of Deaf Space at Gallaudet University.
Please remain respectful and civil to each other in hopes we all meet together in harmony and mutual respect. Finally, I truly want to thank those who have shown support and encouragement. Thank you. Shane.

Video: 2090 Coalition: Support Rocky Mountain Deaf School in captioned.
Support RMDS! Learn more about Rocky Mountain Deaf School needs your support to secure a location for an appropriate building design that would help to meet the educational and safety needs of RMDS students.
This school would be nationally recognized and the first in the US to be built and designed by the Deaf, for the Deaf. RMDS must begin building on this property before November or risk losing a $13 million dollar grant from the BEST (Building Excellent Schools Today) program through the Colorado Department of Education. The BEST grant does not use taxpayer dollars - the funding comes primarily from lottery funds.
On June 25, 2012 the city of Lakewood approval the RMDS rezoning request of 2090 South Wright Street so RMDS can purchase the land and build a K-12 school. This land is currently owned by Jefferson County Schools and is zoned for a K-12 school for 300-400 students.
The 2090 Coalition supporters must collect over 3000 Lakewood registered voter signatures by Aug 10. If they succeed, the petition would force the Lakewood city council to revisit the decision. If the council refuses to overturn the rezoning, the issue would go to the voters this fall. The 2090 Coalition is jeopardizing the possibility of a new school for RMDS by delaying the process to the BEST grant deadline.
2090 Coalition petitioners have been seen in several locations spreading incorrect information to gain signatures on the petition which will interfere with the rezoning process of the 2090 South Wright Street property. Their platform is "Save Our Park" and they are telling residents whom they approach that they are "preserving open space". This land had never been open space nor has it ever belonged to the city of Lakewood (something the city's own attorney attests to). The developers zoned it for a school in 1973 and the fortunate residents have been enjoying these 10 acres since then. The proposed school would still benefit the residents and they would still be able to enjoy the adjoining 40 acres that are zoned as open space. Please - we need your support! Help to share the truth about this land and support Rocky Mountain Deaf School.

Video: Deaf student bullied at Alexander Graham Bell school.
CHICAGO (CBS) - A young Deaf boy says first he was bullied by some classmates and then a teacher allegedly joined in. The third-grader attends Alexander Graham Bell School in Chicago, where he says he’s been repeatedly hit and verbally abused by students.
Is Alexander Graham Bell school recommendation for the hearing-impaired children?
Alexander Graham Bell School is NOT recommended for the Deaf/HoH children, because of Alexander Graham Bell is the Father of Audism! What is Audism? Find more info: Audism. The Deaf community believed he should attend to the school for the Deaf or have a better school service with sign language interpreters instead AG Bell school. He seems to have trouble with speaking by verbally. We don't understand why his mother didn't think about taking him to Deaf school. We highly recommend that he should learn sign language for better communication.
The hearing parents sometimes barrier communication with hearing-impaired children like it is lack of communication, abuse, and barrier. The hearing-impaired are mostly frustration, angry, temper and crying with their hearing parents. Including oral school for the Deaf, also barrier and bullying the hearing-impaired children with the communication. Unfortunately, hearing parents misuse their hearing-impaired children in the mental institutions like as AG Bell Schools for wrong purpose. They expect that the hearing-impaired children may be brainwashed. Although physical abuse is prohibited but still, this term brings back these memories that many are scarred with the term oralism. As seen on video in ASL: Dear AG Bell
AG Bell has been pushing such as forced to the hearing-impaired children for oral and cochlear implants. Even AG Bell uses Doctors and Audiologists to put cochlear implants on hearing-impaired and teaching them how to speak by Oral Methods. The general of communities discovered many lies about Alexander Graham Bell's life to destroy Deaf culture because of oralism movement.
What is oralism movement? Oralism is way different from spoken English. Oralism tends to be the only approach and it bans from ASL. Spoken English is not against for one to know both languages since birth. It has no biased meaning - it is just a language. Signed English doesn't ban a hearing-impaired child from using ASL nor force those who cannot hear enough to use it. Some people who think the world of oralism are ignorant. Using the word, oralism, still did not change to a positive concept just we would never change the concept of slavery.
Would we want to still practice slavery? No! Unfortuantely, it is still happening in some parts of the world. Slavery will always be negative just like oralism therefore there is no way to change the meaning. They should now that there were horrors associated to oralism. Although it is history but today the practice, the principle and the philosophy still discriminate against ASL.
The term should be changed to oracy since it involves the use of switching to both languages where they have the options to use, spoken or signed where there is a more flexibility and compatibility. The hearing parents of the Deaf children will LIKLEY to be a victim. The hearing parents really need a wake-up call and stop abuse to the hearing-impaired children which are victims of abused from the AG Bell schools as seen on youtube.
