The Corollaries of Internalized Oppression in Deaf Education
By Patricia Raswant

Some school administrators, teachers, and hearing parents with deaf children often stigmatize members of the Deaf Community. They look at members in the Deaf Community as dimwits, backstabbing, deceptive troublemakers, SSI recipients, name-calling, spreading nasty rumors and other humiliating terms. Sadly, they do not consider well-educated deaf and hard of hearing adults to be their equals in educational decision-making. They refuse to acknowledge the cause of their “holier than thou” attitude is the product of deaf adults as dimwits, backstabbing, deceptive troublemakers, SSI recipients, name-calling, spreading nasty rumors and other crushing terms. A Total Communication system that graduates most deaf students at a third or fourth grade reading level is the consequence of internalized oppression in deaf educational establishments, which keeps the Deaf community on the fringes of our society.

Anyways, let me know what you think. Is training via the internet something you would do?
