Well, I can see where your University is coming from. American Sign Language is well American, so technically making it a language here in America; and not a foreign language like French or Russian. Then with culture, Deaf people who use ASL are Americans. They have most of America's traditions. Deaf people still go watch baseball games, they watch movies, they eat hotdogs and popcorn, just like an ordinary American. What I want to know is, what is so Different about Deaf culture and the American culture???? Now I'm not trying to be offensive or anything, I'm just stating points that I see here. I respect Deaf people but I'm an unbias person. So please I don't want any hurtful remarks or anything similar.
