Week 3 paragraph

This week has been the most disturbing week for me. We learned about how the deaf are being discriminated against in so many ways. How can a person be considered an equal when we as a culture won't even give that person the fundamental right of using the language of their choice? The United States caters to those who are from outside of the country and would NEVER expect them to give up their native language. Yet I have found that many schools here are not even giving the opportunity for those who are deaf to even learn ASL. This is really disturbing to me. I would hate to see this wonderful language go exticnt over ignorance on the part of many. I LOVE learning ASL and will do everything in my power to voice my opinion of freedom of speech/languages!!!
