I appreciate what you wrote but once again, I do think there's couple different perspectives going on here.
I think - because of the history of deaf people as a group involving discrimination, educational history, languages stolen, punishment, eugenics etc. - I think that it is important that deaf children have deaf role models to see - YES, I can do; YES, I am valuable the way I AM; YES, the stories, insights, contributions and history of deaf people are significant. I think this is very very important with any cultural and historically discriminated group-
