2010-09-23 13:15

Sign Language is mother tougue of the deaf no matter at what stage in life one become deaf. It is the medium of communcation through which the deaf can excharge or share ideas and information most effectively.

The deaf can learn most effectively through the Sign language they understand just like able people use oral or spoken language. So preventing the use of Sign langauge in schools is the same as denying the deaf equel access to  education opportunity. It is an infringement on Deaf rights and should be strongly rejected in its entirty!
