DEAF ASL Users are similar to the 300 Spartans!
AVT, AG Bell (ABAD) and other organizations set up their goal to eliminate our language of American Sign Language. That is their strategy. For your information that our ASL will NEVER be eliminated no matter what. How? We are MUCH LIKE the Spartans. That’s bad news for AVT, AGBAD and other organizations. ASL ROCKS!!!

For long time, AGBAD think next Deaf generation will stand down. They are wrong. We still stand strong. Very good presentation. :)
I remember one king that has two sons, one is Deaf, they fought the Persian empire. I assume some already know about that history, that involves an oracle, unintentional killing of brother with spear, so it probably have some connection with the spartans, or is our language from the days of Babel. Maybe this subject matter will be investigate further as a possible future Deaf Anthology script.
Joe, I agree with you totally!! ASL will never fade! NEVER WILL! Deafness will never go away! I'm so proud of my identity as DEAF person! I cherish ASL! Great story to share!
Joe, the spirit of your analogy is great and awesome and I support the intent of your message.
One problem. Sparta was known as a very strong land. Reason? They selectively picked their infants. This is known as eugenics. Those who were seen as weaklings were left on mountains to die. This was eugenics that built their strength as Spartans. Sadly, Alexander Graham Bell also endorsed eugenics.
Again, the spirit of your message is well received by us all and we heartily support the purpose of your message. But, .... maybe Sparta isn't a good analogy after all. ??? Their strength came from following the same philosophy that Bell followed years later and that today AgBell still embraces.
A very interesting analogy! Yes, we shall fight head-on!
Hi ASLpride, AGBAD have always been wrong about us. They know that we will always stand strong!
Hi Bryen, Yes, you are correct about Spartans and its history that they dumped weak and defective babies and they kept the perfect babies only. Don't get the wrong idea that I support Spartan philosophy and its system. I am talking about the Spartans in battle. My point is that Spartan soldiers never gave up and kept fighting until death. They were awesome, brave and kept believing to not give up ever. It is much like our battle. We never give up our language of ASL. Smile...
Yeah, similar!
ASL will not going die and keep stand up and be strong like Deaf Human beings. We are part of Deaf Culture like everyone too.
ASL Rockz!
Many Thanks to Vietez(sp)He was Teacher and using sign Languages in 1890's He believe ASL is stand and strong until same pattern today!

Long live DEAF/ASL Unity!
