Deafhood: Concern about PL's inappropriate vlog.

Concerning about PL's "out of the blue" inappropriate comment against Paddy Ladd and people. I understand his frustration but his approach is inappropriate and his information is error. His comment about "Low function Deaf" is really insulting and degrading Deaf people, Deaf Culture and ASL. I am very disappointed in his comment. Actually, we already have our own "ASL" Deafhood thanks to Deafhood.us. Please go to www.deafhood.us and you are welcome to participate and discuss with any of us. We will never reject anyone unless inappropriate or irrelevant comments in www.deafhood.us




PL, I want you to be aware of that and I hope you will find www.deafhood.us benefit for you and many people who want to learn more.

Thank you

Wow you are right that asl is equal to English and it is very natural you did do your good job to tell pl to understand the meaning of deafhood. Dr padd is a wonderful soul who cares about us real deaf people. We Maybe need to babysit pl wow we have to be a hearing person. No no no way.

@PopeMistress hey good to see you again! Yes we need to becareful of what we say without any thinking. Yes Oralism is the root of evil. We have to stop that. Oralism is not about right but is oppression.

@InsaneMisha Hi InsaneMisha,

Right on! Deafhood book is very new (not yet 10 years) and even younger than 9/11. We all are learning and discussing that would take years to build up our new network and new resources. Yes we are very much aware of many people who are struggling to read a very academic book. We are working DAMN hard to set up a new Deafhood website (in ASL) for participants... I am sad that we have been attacked by him. Hope he reconsiders!
