~ SHOW ME DEAF COMMUNITY ~ by Paul J Kiel

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!

CUED SPEECH IS NOT NATURAL LANGUAGE OF THE DEAF!

Dear Mr. Townsend:

I saw your article that was on WHSV.COM.

I personally do NOT agree with your article.

Cued Speech will NOT gain popularity among deaf.

It is not the natural language of the deaf!

American Sign Language is the true natural language of the deaf.

George Veditz in 1913 said, ""As long as we have deaf people on earth, we will have signs. And as long as we have our films, we can preserve signs in their old purity. It is my hope that we will all love and guard our beautiful sign language as the noblest gift God has given to deaf people."

Someone is misleading you!

Thank you!
