I can see too, and I don't want you think that I am trying to hurt you or put you or the deaf culture down, but the Deaf Culture is a completly different enity itself.  The hearing world is based on sound, sound from the overhead abt events going on, like in airports, train stations etc.  Radios in the car, or any kind of entertanment around the city.  The Hearing culture lives around the busy sounds. They live off of sound.  The deaf culture is a foreign country within the country.  They are like the Mexician that lives with their family, or the Chinesse, or the German, French, or what other country there is.  There are a lot of ppl out there that don't know how to speak English, so why does the Deaf Culture get left out when they can't speak it with their month?  If you want ASL to be the main language like English is, then it has to be taught in school along with the spoken English.  Also, with that, you have to teach the deaf ppl the proper grammer with their deaf schools along with speach classes with them.  That will not happen in most of the deaf schools, cause they just push them throw and not try to teach the deaf at that level.  How I know, easy, I taught my wife most of her grammer, not her Deaf School.  In my eye, and I would love to have a debate about it, is that ASL and the Deaf Culture is in fact a foreign language and group in the US.  Only common link they have is they are born in the states and write the same.
