That does not mitigate the fact, that in nearly all of your posts, you recommend that ASL be learned after the child has learned English. Yous till propose that a deaf child learn an oral language prior to a signed language. That is what makes your view and oralist one. And one that continues to mire deaf chidlren in language deprivation.
