7. CUT AND PASTE JOURNAL
“FOR HEARING PEOPLE ONLY”
“Sign language is not impervious to change. It can
grow; it can adapt to modern needs. All signers can
participate in the process of re-creating a language
that reflects modern sensibilities, cultural sensitivity,
and respect for diversity. There is always room for
improvement – and for creativity.”
“It’s perfectly okay to be fascinated by Deaf culture
and the way Deaf people communicate, and quite
understandable to be intrigued by seeing them
signing in public.”
“In case you’re wondering if movie theaters and the
home-video industry are covered by the ADA, the
answer is no. ... It’s strictly voluntary.”
8. CUT AND PASTE JOURNAL
“FOR HEARING PEOPLE ONLY”
“Most Deaf people appreciate a hearing stranger’s
interest…If you get rebuffed, don’t take it personally.
Take it in stride, as a negative learning experience. It
happens to all of us.”
“We believe that deaf children should be exposed to
sign language as well as speech, as part of a Total
Communication or Bilingual-Bicultural curriculum. They
can choose whatever mode they feel comfortable with.”
“Obviously, not all career possibilities are equally
feasible. Everyone has talents. Everyone has limitations.
Everyone has abilities. And everyone has disabilities.
Nothing is accomplished without risk and sacrifice. We
deserve the right to fail as well as to succeed.”
