There's no need to suddenly attack someone today for something that happened years ago. NTID was founded 35 years ago. Why wait 35 years to say something today?

The problem is that his beliefs/philosphy still live on to today. So we need to educate people that Bell isn't what he seems to be. I dont care if Bell's name is being honored in somewhere as long it isn't in deaf community.
Hell, AGB organization was inspired by man himself and this organization is well known for ridiculing ASL and claimed Oral is the only one effective method for deaf people.
