Its not possible to take away Deaf people's native language (American Sign Language). Please do not bring Deaf people back to old days when we were forced to speak orally and not to use our hands. It does a lot of damages to Deaf people in many ways - no foundation, no Deaf culture, low self-esteem, always struggling, and so on. Deaf Culture and Americcan Sign Language is critical to the Deaf community.
