however a lot of people agree that the official report from the government was inaccurate and opinions have claimed that the government was merely trying to cover up it's ineptness in this situation.

don't be lame. don't sit on a half-truth. go further.

btw, what's all this controversy about asl fading or not? honestly, who cares? that's the point of language, is it not? as jillio said, language is constantly evolving to fit the needs of people at the moment. to be honest, arguing about whether you should learn asl, see, oralism, cued-speech, or any other types is a moot point. what matters is how you learn them and make them beneficial to yourself. no one language method really slows you down in the development of english (except asl maybe ;o). just stop whining about asl's existence. if it dies out, then it was meant to be.
