2012 is time to tell EHDI to pull up their socks!

This idiom means "If you aren't satisfied with someone and want them to do better, you can tell them to pull up their socks."

I am not satisfied yet with EHDI (Early Hearing Detection and Intervention) programs and I would like to help them to do better so it means telling them to pull up their socks! I noticed throughout the country that their information seems biased and not detailing enough about American Sign Language and our proud Deaf culture. More needs to be done!

See you on March 5 and 6 2012!

HOW TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF AUDISM

---

---

HOW TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF AUDISM:

It is time to apply the brakes on the cycle of pain, abuse and depression.

Audism has played its role on the state of mental health on the majority of the deaf community globally.

It can be a harder thing to apply the brakes and the cycle has been going on for the most 130 years.

It has been perpetuated too long and too wrong in many retrospects.

With the recent AG Bell conference in St. Louis attended by as many as 500 attendees, it again shows a large number of medical professionals.

At the last discussion months ago, it was declared that more than 62% of AG Bell membership are involved in the medical or medical related field.

It is a dangerous step for both hearing and deaf communities.

It does not help the state of mental health among the deaf consumers of social and commuity services.

The true identity of a deaf individual has been trampled on, dissected at all costs, manipulated by selfish professionals and deaf peers, and the cycle is still continuing to this day in practice of audism.

We need to identify the cause of the problems of audism.

We need to study the actions and influences caused by the hearing community affecting the deaf community.

Knowing the facts and causes may help break the cycle.

We need to review what choices and actions can be used to alleviate the needs of the deaf community.

We need to redesign and reframe our deaf community goals.

We need to overhaul our social and personal needs in the hearing community.

We need to revamp our community and strategic planning.

We need to do more public relations to focus the spotlight on our deaf community needs.

We need to develop new plans of action among the deaf communities globally.

We need to set up a model of program to ensure that the cycle of audism can be broken and be kept to a minimum.

We need to set up new rules that enable us to break the cycle of audism.

We need the new rules that we can live by and stick with it.

We need to address the issues when the established and agreed rules are broken.

We need to evaluate our priorities and develop confidence in our steps to thwart any resurgences of audism.

We need to remain alert and prepared to confront any old habits that emerge or handle problem individuals who do not respect the deaf community.

We need to develop plan of action to remedy the situation when it arises.

We need to deal with audism now.

Without intervention, the cycle of audism will continue on and on.

Talking and acknowledging what happened can help us heal.

The patterns of audism are repeated over and over.

A pure example of audism is that AG Bell and its cronies are continuing to manipulate the public arena by telling lies about American Sign Language and how they continue to emphasize oralism through various programs.

This shows how pathological and selfish liars they are.

The hardest part is losing friendships over audism issues.

We need to remind our friends that they are perpetuating audism by attending the activities or programs that promote audism.

Isn't it time to break the cycle of audism?

Sincerely,

Paul J. Kiel

HOT DIGGITY DAMN! YES, ORALISM HINDERS EDUCATION!

---

---

---

A vlog about his comments on Carl Schroeder's vlog on "ORALISM HINDERS EDUCATION!".

---

---

This script is for signing impaired.

Hot Diggity Damn! Yes, It is a fact that oralism hinders education!!! it has been that way since 1880. This is what and why AG Bell and his cronies developed a system to oppress deaf for years and years.

Many parents are fooled into believing that their children will succeed in life. There seem to be higher divorce rates among those parents of oral children. I grew up in oral programs and I have seen plenty. It is not a pretty picture. It is high time that everyone talk about what happened and stop the lies.

As for the recent vlog by Carl Schroeder - Kakula's Corner, I agree with him 100 percent. It is a fact that oralism hinders what the deaf need. It is a simple form of audism.

See the picture in black and white. That was 41 years ago this coming fall that Dr. Silverman asked me to come with him to a presentation at Laclede Gas Company downtown St. Louis. I was starting first year in public school. I was 15 at that time. You know I have been obedient at times to certain people.

But that day in Fall of 1967 was a turning point of starting to hate oralism. I was tired of being paraded around from one place to another at CID's whims. They wanted me to go and help them fundraise through the United Fund which is now the United Way.

That day was the day I started to protest and made demands. I told Dr. Silverman to stop using me and to stop calling my mom every Fall when they needed me. I had enough of giving them what they wanted. I was upset when Dr. Silverman wanted to demonstrate how oralism worked. I told Dr. Silverman that I did not want his grubby hands on my face anymore and I got tired of being in public limelight.

I had to face public humilitation at a junior high school. My friends teased me about the picture being in the newspaper. I ran home to cry and was suffering depression and humilitation. I wanted to be equal with my hearing friends, but that picture in newspaper changed my life forever. I did not need the teasing and ribbing about how the old man touched my face and the stuff.

I told my mother to stop accepting calls from CID. I went to extremes to tell Dr. Lane, the principal of CID. She told me that I was her favorite pet, yet she was the meanest woman as well as Miss Helen Woodward who slammed the ruler on my hands. Dr. Lane expected me to follow her high expectation of being a role model of oralism. I told her that I would prefer to learn sign language like my brother and other people did. She tried to coax me to stay on oralism side and I said something was not right.

More information and events that transpired after that terrible experience are in my book.

Now on the second picture in color, this was me talking to the newspaper reporter during the Moog protest. Mrs. Moog was fired from her job at CID and I was at CID to encourage CID to adopt ASL and follow the true method of deaf education that included total communication (as a compromise). I had seven people join me in public protest. I issued a press conference to tell the story.

Guess what? The meanest of all, Mrs. Tash (my former speech teacher) squashed my press conference and took the people off to get inside the building. Of course, I got very upset about how Mrs. Tash acted and I got even worse when other people walked off and continued to support the evil woman by the name of Mrs. Moog. She was the same lady I chewed her out years earlier when she looked down on the ILY stamp. The newspaper reporter did not print what I was trying to tell her. It was obvious she did NOT understand anything I said. The story in papers were biased. It is same game that hearing people play to protect themselves.

Now back to Carl Schroeder and others about oralism hindering education, it is a fact. I have seen scores of deaf friends suffer from lack of education. The teachers were too busy correcting our speech and making sure we do things their way. It reeks of audism at its best!

Those people from oral programs are listed in the hall of shame! Yes, the Hall of Shame!

Looking Back: "TO BE DEAF OR NOT TO BE DEAF"

Looking Back:  "TO BE DEAF OR NOT TO BE DEAF"

I remember a long time ago when I was a young child. There was a confusion about who I was in the hearing world. I knew I was Deaf and will  NEVER  match up to hearing in terms of communications.

Hearing people are always punishing us for not being equal in terms of oral communications. We always have speech problems no matter how many years of oral training was done.

More or less, it makes no difference. The results are the same. It is that some hearing people are used to the voice and speech problems of the Deaf. Any hearing person not familiar with it will react in negative way. NO matter how hard we try, the results are the same!

A better solution is to write notes to clarify what we were trying to say.

More or less, the results will be the same! Still problematic! Why? 'Cuz some hearing people can't read notes and make excuses NOT to read notes...that is their "hearing" attitude"! The results are the same!!!

It is hearing people's problem for not taking the time nor taking compassionate view...more or less, it is the same!!!

Oh, well! Life is a Beach! If they cannot understand us, it is their frigging problem! Not mine!

To heck with them! We will continue using ASL as it is fun and entertaining to watch sign language.

It is easier to do it than using voices and trying to please hearing people.

More or less! They need to take the time to understand our culture and language.

It is their problem! Not Mine!

Heck! It is only a sign language!
