Show Me Deaf Community is a b/vlog about what I see and what the Deaf Community show me in daily life. The author is a.k.a. Deaf Advocate on other blogs. He believes in Deaf Advocacy and the rights of the Deaf in all aspects of life from birth to grave. It is a human right and a testimony to facts of life affecting the deaf community. He firmly believes in Laurent Clerc and his contributions to the New World. George Veditz is another one! He predicted videophones in 1913!

AG BELL: The Father of Deaf Eugenics
Alexander Graham "Bell was connected with the eugenics movement in the United States. In his lecture Memoir upon the formation of a deaf variety of the human race presented to the National Academy of Sciences on 13 November 1883 he noted that congenitally deaf parents were more likely to produce deaf children and tentatively suggested that couples where both parties were deaf should not marry.[112] However, it was his hobby of livestock breeding which led to his appointment to biologist David Starr Jordan's Committee on Eugenics, under the auspices of the American Breeders Association. The committee unequivocally extended the principle to man.[113] From 1912 until 1918 he was the chairman of the board of scientific advisers to the Eugenics Record Office associated with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York, and regularly attended meetings. In 1921, he was the honorary president of the Second International Congress of Eugenics held under the auspices of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Organisations such as these advocated passing laws (with success in some states) that established the compulsory sterilization of people deemed to be, as Bell called them, a "defective variety of the human race". By the late 1930s, about half the states in the U.S. had eugenics laws, and the California laws were used as a model for eugenics laws in Nazi Germany." (from internet sources)
Hitler benefitted from Bell's research. This shows proof why George Veditz wrote that many deaf people feared AG Bell. Today, any followers of AG Bell or any programs that are related to "eugenics" by any form or association are guilty by association with sick individuals who wanted to remove deaf from the human race. It is a sign of sickness on those hearing people who believe in Bell's dangerous fantasy.
Oral programs have hidden agenda for practicing eugenics. This is how and why many oralists are pawns of audism. Do not forget that 62% of AG Bell membership are in medical profession. Their only mission are very pathological and oppressive.
They spread lies through their manipulation of many innocent deaf babies. There is a reason for us to stop them in their tracks!
It is time to tell truth! Oralism is just a false facade for audism.
It is a form of physical and mental abuse that has gone on and on since September 11, 1880.
It is time to STOP IT!
