Decline? What Decline?
All The Young Dudes MM's recent post, Decline, begs question, “How does he define campaigning?” To campaign, do we always need to take to the streets, or can we campaign like STOP EUGENICS? That team has been working very hard, and still going strong. Without going into any detailed analysis of his post, which lacks any serious analysis, and merely asks questions that a...

D/HH children who received early cochlear implants and high-quality early intervention achieve similar levels as their hearing peers (Cheng et al., 2006; Geers, 2004).

So instead of deciphering what he is saying, I simply put [inaudible speech].
