Interesting and important information. Now I wonder about some people who thought we should NOT be after AGBell. And now see what they have done to us and our language, ASL! What's next for us I wonder.
From my perspective, Principal seems not allowed any Deaf children who speak put/or express their opinions and rights at any mainstreaming school. Principal felt threatened when young lady Liza Offreda, provided the petitions from hearing and deaf students. Principal do not want to educate hearing kids to let deaf children to gain equal rights. like Gallaudet protest". So principal felt it was time to shut down ASL students as prevent any future problems like Gallaudet protest. Principal may thought petitions for ASL was too immature, but it is FREE COUNTRY!
I had experienced similar like this when I was young. My private school in St. Louis, Principal threatened me to hold me back to repeat grade if I move my hands like a gesture front of oral students. Why I move my hands and gesture because I was doing comedian like exaggerating and made deaf friends laughed.
I wish NAD was more aggressive approach with this NAJD issue. But NAD chose the stupid conference comes first. It was NAD's job to educate and train the hearing people and mainstreaming school about ASL so they will learn and respect ASL students. Not just letting Princapal closed down ASL group and took away their rights.
This shows why the Deaf community needs to be concern about AGBell as they will continue to build a "WALL OF IGNORANT" regardless how innocent AGBell seems while brainwashing the public with fancy clothing and millions of dollars of misleading media press release.
And yet the AGB deniers keep saying "Oh, AGB's not that bad anymore! They don't prohibit ASL anymore! Just leave them alone! They've changed!" Has it? Sure doesn't look like it to me, and if Kathleen Treni follows the same patterns as President of AGB, I would highly doubt it.....
Anon #4: LOL. You are joking right? I will not honor this nonsense request of yours. I can vlog as many as I want to. If you do not like to see many of my vlogs, you are free to leave. There is a feature which you can hide my vlogs at anytime on the DeafRead. I promise you I will not be offended! Thank you for your understanding.
Thanks Deb.. :)
Hedy: Kathleen is Deaf and she has CI but it doesn't matter. The point is that she is strong advocator of AVT method only.
Blame yourself for not doing anything but talk like a Smart Ass like your friends Barry Sewell, etc.
And don't blame DBC either. NAD needs strong grassroot groups and they will prevail. But you, Barry Sewell, MZ, Amy got the Deaf community confused and the deaf people decided to go back into the closet after being colonialized that it is wrong to speak up about what is right.
Der Sankt, why don't you write about Kathleen Treni and find out why she banned JrNAD? Maybe you are not strong enough because Kathleen Treni is a member of AGBell, but strong enough to blame NAD and then degrade DBC and the Deaf community being too empowered to speak up...?
Thank you very much for telling us about Kathleen. She sounds very mean. She has power; therefore, she can destroy the deaf community. We have to stop her immediately. What can we do about it?
"I checked AGBell's link. I wonder if Kathleen will remove one of the communication options (American Sign Language)
See the link AGBELL"
I knew that AGBELL website has a hyperlink of the NAD as a reference, However, AGBELL does not have own research papers that supports the concept of the Deaf or Visual-based Bilingualism and even, does not publish it on AGBell website.
Please read it through on AGBell website 's FAQ that helps to answer questions from the readers (mostly hearing parents)..
So far, I found some terms of hearing loss testing, speech and listening therapy, hearing aids and oral program schools.
Moreover, what happened to the cultural-related terms of Deaf residential school, Deaf Bilingualism or ASL that are not found in AGBell FAQ?
Please don't deceive yourself from AGBell website because I know that the deceptive practices are constantly applied by AGBell's own media department in order to maintain the stability of the AGBell organization business.
I think it is very important to make a documenarty about what happened to JR NAD at NJ school. We hope you could able to make a short film for collecting the information from who was president for JR NAD. We REALLY need to have those information then reval to the world about AGBELL and Kathleen, who did terminate JR NAD at her public school.
is a passionate, ambitious director, cinematographer, and editor. She is the first ASL-Deaf highly engaged and motivated, Dean’s List student-filmmaker at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, she has shown great potential as a filmmaker from conception to completion.
As a Deaf individual, Aidan has faced and overcome a myriad of obstacles in her life. She brings the same tenacity to filmmaking as she strives to become a successful visual storyteller through the medium of film.
Aidan is also an ASL and Deaf pro-activist working on the sharing and spreading of invaluable information about bilingualism in American Sign Language and English written language of Deaf children. She also urges people to recognize that the medical establishment has one-sided information that promises parents they will "cure" their babies’ deafness and that doctors, audiologists, and oral educators feed the idea into parents that Deaf people are not able to function in society if they do not get fixed.

is kathleen a hearing person?
I blame NAD. In your previous entry about this NAD decided to put this "on hold."
What are they doing about it now?
Aiden,
I admire, I love your vlogs, your debate, your viewpoints. Everything about you is remarkably great.
But, but, but it is unbearable for me to view many of your vlogs posted in DeafRead at once.
Thank you for your understanding.

OH MY GOD!

DON'T BE ONE OF THOSE IGNORANT PEOPLE!
I am glad that you bring up this issue. This person is showing true color of AGBell
And yet the AGB deniers keep saying "Oh, AGB's not that bad anymore! They don't prohibit ASL anymore! Just leave them alone! They've changed!" Has it? Sure doesn't look like it to me, and if Kathleen Treni follows the same patterns as President of AGB, I would highly doubt it.....
It is time for us to expose AGBell's hidden agenda against natural rights of Deaf babies and their parents.
AGBell, TEAR DOWN THE WALL!

Anonymous,
I don't mind to watch many of her vlogs. Not a problem for me. She's doing a great job.

I love your face expressions & signs.
I checked AGBell's link.
I wonder if Kathleen will remove one of the communication options
(American Sign Language)

Verrrrrrrry clever of AGBell to
"seduce" her!
Hi, Adian!
Thank you very much for telling us about Kathleen. She sounds very mean. She has power; therefore, she can destroy the deaf community. We have to stop her immediately. What can we do about it?

Hello again,
I showed my husband your vlog. He said you are so cool! He couldn't wait for your next vlog. I think he fell in love with you. :0
I strongly agree with the previous commenter that we must tear down the WALL OF IGNORANCE.
I think it is very important to make a documenarty about what happened to JR NAD at NJ school. We hope you could able to make a short film for collecting the information from who was president for JR NAD.
