After talking with a peer about his involvement in oral school program, it dawned me on that word, "Cognitive Control". That is a fact when hearing persons control the minds of deaf students in deaf education and lives. It is mapping out deaf lives on hearing terms. This is what Deafhood advocates are educating about "colonialism". It is same thing. This is how and why the hearing people are striving to control the system.
Cognitive is about the mental processes of perception, memory, judgement, and reasoning, as contrasted with emotional and volitional processes.
This is how and why audists are controlling the mental processes of deaf children in their early years.
This is why the mental health problems are higher among oralists and those in mainstreamed programs. When audists are in control, there is no true Deaf identity. It is lost and shattered.
How can you put a broken vase back together to the same originality?
It is time to deprogram them. Stop them from brainwashing poor deaf children. We need to stand up and tell them to stop practicing audism!
For example, all oral programs have hearing people on the board. That does not represent a 51% majority for the deaf community. It is illegal process. It is not even democratic. This is viewed as totalarism.
We need to be proactive and reverse the trend of audism.
