A few days ago recently, an anti-cultural organization have written a public response to the Washington’s Post in regards to a proudly Deaf gentleman Nyle DiMarco who succeeds in the television industry such as America’s Next Top Model and now on Dancing With the Stars; Nyle DiMarco’s statements about the importance in Deaf or Hard of Hearing children to learn American Sign Language at an early age. AG Bell founded by the same person who invented your telephone, Alexander Graham Bell who founded an organization (association) calls Alexander Graham Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing but in reality it is the organization who degrades the Deaf community for many decades along with many of other things that the organization have done to the Deaf community very harshly so for that it has become the public enemy in the eyes of Deaf community. AG Bell have issued a public response to Washington Post article as it is what AG Bell do their best which is oppress or degrade anybody who is Deaf or Hard of Hearing by saying that the statement Nyle DiMarco made which is “There are many deaf kids out there being deprived of their own language” is a myth and then started off lying by implying that American Sign Language is declining. It would be better off with you reading the response by AG Bell and not me telling you what they are saying because that response by AG Bell have angered the Deaf community and I am proud to say that I am part of the Deaf community.

(In case AG Bell panicked and removes the public letter: AG Bell’s Response to Washington’s Post article)
In that childish response from AG Bell you have noticed that they played with statistics? Saying that the Deaf individuals would have better skills if they choose listening and spoken language? That is a flat-out lie and that is not the only one lie in that letter. In fact a well-known university such as Oxford have proved it with their studies and Oxford isn’t the only university that proved that through studying/research.
Oxford, Mayberry and National Center for Biotechnology Information have proved that the children at very early age will have much better skills using American Sign Language (ASL) than “listening and spoken language” English stated by AG Bell. Here is three proven studies of their own for you to read.

MayBerry: Age of acquisition effects on the functional organization of language in the adult brain
National Center for BioTechnology Information (NCBI): Spoken English language development among native signing children with cochlear implants
It is very bothersome of AG Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing to issue a public response to the Washington Post where Washington Post wrote an article about Nyle DiMarco and the Deaf children with a such beautiful culture – Deaf culture. But again does it surprise me? Absolutely not because this is what AG Bell does for decades as when they sees that there is a praise or any spotlights shining upon the Deaf or Hard of Hearing individuals such as Nyle DiMarco because where Nyle DiMarco won the American Next Top Model cycle 22 and now he’s contestant in Dancing With the Stars which that hit the nerves for AG Bell Association because they don’t want anyone to see when anyone who happens to be Deaf or Hard of Hearing thrives. Of course that’s going to hurt their sales in cochlear implants or hearing aids that they think they are what cure Deafness which they are always wrong but again they market cochlear implants and hearing aids so of course it is all about money for them as it have always been from the beginning and if anyone think that there is even an ounce of caring from Alexander Graham Bell Association for Deaf and Hard of Hearing – Wrong!
Since the Alexander Graham Bell Association for Deaf and Hard of Hearing aka AG Bell’s response to Washington Post to belittles Nyle DiMarco, it has angered the Deaf community and its allies. In Deaf community they are known as AGBad for more than a decade due to their like of belittling anyone who happens to be Deaf or Hard of Hearing and there have been several protests against AG Bell for many years because of how they behaved towards us by degrading the Deaf community. The bottom line is that there is nothing good coming from Alexander Graham Bell Association for Deaf and Hard of Hearing. They are what defines audism perfectly and their goal is to erase every person from the Deaf community from existence which that isn’t ever going to happen so they can keep on dreaming on that.
Audism – is the notion that one is superior based on one’s ability to hear or to behave in the manner of one who hears, or that life without hearing is futile and miserable, or an attitude based on pathological thinking which results in a negative stigma toward anyone who does not hear. – Audism – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Opinions and Response To AG Bell
I believe I have written an article about Alexander Graham Bell before, I am not sure if I did or not but you can do a search on here by typing “AG Bell” and it should tell you if there is any articles I wrote about AG Bell themselves. Even if I did then I am certain that I will be repeating the things I have written in the other article in this article because of the things that AG Bell organization have done to Deaf community leaves a scar and of course that is what AG Bell wants as usual. But what irks me the most from that response they wrote for Washington Post article about Nyle DiMarco is the deformation which is something that I do not take very lightly as ever since I became a blogger almost nine years ago I have learned that giving false information can misled any readers into learning something wrong. I am not a big fan of giving the wrong information or worse yet the false information to the readers especially like AG Bell did and it was not just one false information but several with no sources whatsoever which is why often when I write articles you see me sharing the sources (links) for proof. I am ashamed of AG Bell for their continuity in oppressing the Deaf community ever since Alexander Graham Bell founded the Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
Now I am at one paragraph where the president of AG Bell Association Meredith Sugar stated a such technology like cochlear implants or hearing aids helps the Deaf or Hard of Hearing individuals to learn the spoken language which is English but the thing is that cochlear implants or hearing aids have failed the majority of Deaf community to do so because all these technology does is giving them a sound and that’s just that. Cochlear implants or hearing aids does NOT help anyone to learn to speak, they never do and the most people in Deaf community cannot understand any word coming from these technology for them to learn how to speak. In other words, all cochlear implants and hearing aids are good for is the sounds itself which I mean by alarms, horns, sirens or anything that has high-pitch sounds but never a clear sound to understand any kinds of language to know how to speak. In fact I am speaking from my experience as I am one of many these people in the Deaf community who received the hearing aids at a very early age and honest to God they does not work like AG Bell heavily advertise them as so after few years wearing them I was unable to understand any words to speak English so I do what the most Deaf community does: Ditched them or shove them up AG Bell’s filthy lying arse.
What did works for me? I learned American Sign Language and because of that I was able to attend a college named Westwood University. If I had stayed with wearing the hearing aids and not learning American Sign Language then I wouldn’t even get further than a middle school. Saying American Sign Language declines? I am sorry but that’s one another lie you have shared with the readers. As blogger I don’t appreciate that you are lying to your readers in attempt to brain-wash them and in hope that you succeed in doing so but the problem is you have done it so many times that we are getting used to it to the point that we know everything what you says is all nothing but bunch of lies that is spitting out of your mouth.
Stop trying to deprive a language that actually works for the Deaf children and stop trying to prevent the children from getting their education that they deserves. In fact I challenge you to publicly knowledge that the American Sign Language is the best option for the Deaf children since they have been proven but I am sure that you refuse to do so in fear of losing money as for so many years you have brain-washed the parents of Deaf children to deprive their own child’s native language and their culture which is a very dangerous thing to do because it’s same thing as if you deprives the Indian’s culture from them. For so many years you are the public enemy in Deaf community and I promise you that you will continue to be until the day that you accept the defeats with a such large amount of proof that everything you have said is nothing but lies.
Please know this that I in no way against any individuals to choose to have cochlear implants or hearing aids because I am all for that and what I am against is the industry especially who like to brain-wash anyone to exploit them with money by buying cochlear implants or hearing aids like Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
AG Bell Donors
I ask all of you who have donated or supported Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (AG Bell) to please stop doing more than harms to the Deaf children by stop sending donations to AG Bell completely. Because of your donations, AG Bell continues to lie to thousands of the people such as parents of Deaf children in particular so to brain-wash the parents into harms their child and stripping down their own rights by putting cochlear implants or hearing aids on their child without their permission. It isn’t right to do something to your child at their very early age when they don’t know anything so you are doing something harmful to them without their permission and I suggest that you to wait until your child grew to the point that they can make their own decision especially for something as huge changes to their life. By forcing them to have cochlear implants also guarantee them that they will not be able to have a great childhood and I will answer your question to why. Having cochlear implants would means that your child will not be able to play any kinds of sports such as baseball, football, basketball, swimming pool or anything that is in a contact sports because if there is any hits on your child’s brain then you just allowed AG Bell to do more than harms to your child brain – Death.
