I'm going to find out and see about this.. I believe we should teach kids ASL in school. I noticed when I talk to my daughter(12)in front of her class... they were amazed with our language and kept asking her what did you guys say and how do you do that??? Always questions.. I feel like we're outsiders! I want them to know all about deaf and sign with us, too!!!! Why not learn!! So, I want to ask you a question, can we make this a nation and spread all over the U.S. as we should allow ASL as foreign language? Open up ASL to the world as forien language? <BR/><BR/>Jackieedgewildernesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08493641167808041252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-12670705512932614512007-05-10T19:57:00.000-04:002007-05-10T19:57:00.000-04:00Congraualtion for contiue ASL today and Keep to f...Congraualtion for contiue ASL today and Keep to fight with HEaring who have been attempted to ban ASL.

I gave a breathe of relief when I read the online Democrat and Chronicle that ASL was voted to be kept in the middle school...<BR/><BR/>I checked Carmel school district and it has ASL program. Ironic... last summer the high school was interviewing several people for an ASL instructor and only one deaf person applied for it... she was (and is) every fluent in ASL, having taught ASL at other schools, having graduated from Gallaudet U., etc... and guess what? She did not get offered the job position... the rest of the candidates were hearing and one of them got offered the job position.

We don't have any ASL program in middle school in Houston area. Only high school. I can check out if they have ASL program in middle school. Thanks for sharing with us!! ASL is rich, beautiful and long live! That is God's gift to us.

My hearts are getting huge for Deaf Rochesterians especially across the nation and Gallaudet constitutes. Hopefully, the case will go in effect for public schools to perserve ASL in classroom. Essentially, the hearing students will understand what deaf and hard of hearing people have our own culture and language in our mecca. <BR/>Cheers to your community! <BR/><BR/>Nick VeraDomverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00275145345053260149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-65680432401343966162007-05-10T05:45:00.000-04:002007-05-10T05:45:00.000-04:00Congrats from London, UK!!

The community blogger for Henrietta, Peter Boulay, in the Rochester newspaper was informed this was not true and he published a Googled list of universities that did accept ASL for credit. This certainly added to the petition and raised awareness of what was going on in Henrietta.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, everybody for your involvement! It certainly made the school board vote unanimously in favor of keeping ASL in the schools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-66390287285507803752007-05-10T02:27:00.000-04:002007-05-10T02:27:00.000-04:00Good to hear, Wonderful!Good to hear, Wonderful!mochamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16897337305921848380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-35499607461215087132007-05-10T01:05:00.000-04:002007-05-10T01:05:00.000-04:00Long Live ASL!Long Live ASL!Beaux Arts de Boutjeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05453552767797746706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-27189921446839671942007-05-10T00:35:00.000-04:002007-05-10T00:35:00.000-04:00I am so thrilled to see the real active among Roch...I am so thrilled to see the real active among Rochester Deaf Community and large number of hearing who already took ASl.

We also have to watch out the AGB too because they (AGB) are wealthy and be able to spread easily like wildfires. We ALL DEAF PEOPLE in whole deaf community need to SUPPRESS and SLOW DOWN the AGB's Power. When we keep going to use our arm-to-arm (like harmony) to support ASL -- then eventually the ASL movement will become BIGGER AND BIGGER later on, as the AGB's Power will become strunk down little by little -- one day we will be victory !!!!!<BR/><BR/>WAY TO GO -- ASL MOVEMENT.ccm14erhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05978235203039254806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-54396514011516810722007-05-10T00:27:00.000-04:002007-05-10T00:27:00.000-04:00Government should required all students from kinde...Government should required all students from kindergarten to high school to learn ASL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-83318830059272183452007-05-10T00:05:00.000-04:002007-05-10T00:05:00.000-04:00WHOA 6-0!!!!!!!! i was so surprise!
