Video: Critical Interrogation of Karl White's speech at TEDxUSU. (December 2012)
A Critical Interrogation of Karl White's presentation at TEDxUSU: Establishing a sound foundation for children who are deaf or hard of hearing as seen on http://youtu.be/bfN1RPVuzl0.
Anyone with some level of familiarity with Deaf people will agree that there are some deep philosophical differences in how we interact with, work with, and approach Deaf children.
As such anyone who purports to be an authority on Deaf people has an ethical responsibility to be transparent.
We find it disturbing that individuals such as Karl White continue to blatantly abuse their position by misleading the general public about Deaf people, languages, and medical intervention. This is done through intentional framing, through omission of facts, and through giving appearances of neutrality when in fact bias is present.
Here we discuss some of the things we noted and/or have questions about regarding his recent presentation at TEDxUSU (published on December 5, 2012).

A Movie Trailer: 'Billy Was A Deaf Kid' - The classic, I hate your guts, no wait, I like you, my brother is DEAF, let's ride a couch down the street, love story.
Billy is Archie's brother. Archie loves Billy. Billy is DEAF. Archie finds a toy microphone to cure Billy's deafness. Sophie thinks it's stupid. Sophie is Archie's girlfriend. Archie loves Sophie. Sophie isn't quite sure about Archie. Archie, Billy and Sophie find that the world is much more complicated than simple sentences.
Can relationships rely solely on riding couches through automatic carwashes? Is a toy microphone the cure to deafness? And which is worse, getting slapped or getting spit on? These turn out to be very important questions in the lives of Archie, Sophie and Billy. And finding the answers come at a high price.

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.
LiesAGBellToldMyParents...Many Deaf Survivors of the Alexander Graham Bell Association... We will never forget.
Video: How ASL Deafies treat the hearing impaired in captioned.
If you watch the 2½ minute vignette of "Amy" in this video, you'll see it expresses the frustration we hearing impaired face, as we are caught "in between" the "hearing" and the "ASL Deafie" worlds...
Subtitled Version - "You Neutral?" - As Deaf and hard-of-hearing people roll forth in life, they experience much. And yet, many prefer to stay neutral. This video shows the clear contrast between such attitudes and what's going on. The depicted situations in this video are not surprising for Deaf people - they see them as ordinary, every-day events.

TORONTO - A hearing impaired woman breaks down misconceptions through video. A 20-year-old Deaf woman has created a lighthearted video to explain the misconceptions people have about deaf people and in particular, their ability to pick up on humour and sarcasm.
Brooke Wayne's short film, 'Deaf Like Me' Her film has attracted some media attention too, including an interview with CTV Health Reporter Pauline Chan that aired last night on the evening news. As seen on YouTube: Brooke Wayne's Short Film 'Deaf Like Me'
Being Deaf from birth, most children would either choose to perceive life in a optimistic or pessimistic way. People often forget that just because someone can't hear, doesn't mean they are mentally challenged or incapable of adapting to their environment. As a positive-minded and ambitious individual, I grew to accept my disability, using it to my advantage, and to see the humor in life. This is my story.
Video: I'm Sorry, I'm Deaf. I sometime confront people to tell em that I m deaf so they will understand why my accent is weird. They are understanding me speak and gesture a bit (I know I m hard of hearing but still I m Deaf!
Most hearing people did not know that you are deaf so you dont have to give them ugly attitude in first place...be cool!
Don't worry about other hearing people think of you. We should feel sorry for them for being ignorant and stupid. THEY ARE WORTHLESS!!! Some of them respect deaf community and deaf culture which is good! Moved on and enjoy ur life! BE STRONG! Video by LynxA8
