When sign language was banned as a result of the Milan Conference, what sorts of punishment were exacted on people who were caught signing? Sources?
Wasn't the Milan conference in the late 19th century-1880 /90s? Punishment for using signs- 4 lashes with a wet noodle. Plus of course a stern lecture-speak only!
Seems times has changed a bit since!
Fortunately the world has changed somewhat for DEAF persons in this century such as Cochlear Implants-if suitable.
What will the next century bring?
