Representating Role for Future Deaf Community?

Good afternoon it's Labor's Day Weekend!

I want to express my thoughts from my own perspective as a (either Deaf or Hearing) Mom or Parents representating for Future Deaf Community from Sharon Duchesneau's "Communication Abuse and Deaf People" on her ASC's vlog link: http://www.ascdeaf.com/blog/?p=318

This is what I am concern for our future Deaf /hard of hearing/CODA Children's role for Future Deaf Community with Equal Communication Access Needs with a better positive attitude model role representative without attacking ASL. To let you know that I would like to borrow famous Deaf Frank Turk from South Dakota's quote "T.E.A.M." as "Together Everyone Achieve More".

It is very important for us all to have good teamwork to more positive attitude model role representating for the Future Deaf Community with respect Equal Communication Access Needs without oppressing ASL access. It will be so hard for us to improve as TEAMwork as for our Future Deaf Community need while there are some people who want to keep English Language in more power of control to confuse and oppress some of our brains, souls, spirits, identity and minds.

My lonely dog is now happy to be with my Deaf son at home. My Deaf son is now home for a long Labor's Day weekend. Please pardon me recently I was watching the cable national news about a married man, Republican US Senator from Idaho… Wow very interesting news!! I couldn’t imagine myself as his wife with kids!! It’s gonna be very INTERESTING since he did said himself “never been gay” but but he has been strong against gay marriage!!

To let you know that there was very interesting histroy and article info about US Sentor from Idaho on this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Craig

Hope you will enjoy Labor’s Day weekend! Shawn

Not Against Gay/Lesbian/Straight Deaf/HOH/Hearing Humans

My lonely dog who sat and sleeping on my lap while I was uploading and working on this v/blog. My lonely dog and I want to express you all "Good Morning!"

I am NOT against gay/lesbian/straight! I do have several hearing and Deaf friends who are gay/lesbian/straight. I sometimes wonder about my dear Deaf friend who graduated from my old oral deaf school, SJI here in St. Louis and got killed herself while I was second pregnant in 1993. I cannot go funeral in San Francisco while I needed to save up 6 weeks of maternity leave from my work after my 2nd baby was born in 1993. I cannot fly out in a very expensive far trip out there from here St. Louis. Sad there was no photo of the funeral in San Francisco Bay that I did missed it!!!

Thanks for understanding! Yes, Gary is right about important for us all to take the STRESS off from our chests and emotions to make us feel MORE BETTER! My concern about Social Peer Pressures Counselor for all public hearing schools for Deaf mainstream students, Oral Deaf Schools and America Schools for the Deaf now these days to help and develop the Deaf/HOH students to become MORE RESPECT for Unity!

Hope you all will have a very good and Happy Thursday!
Respectfully Hugs Yours, Shawn

Where's "RESPECT"????!!!!

My thoughts about Deaf students do have their own rights to withdraw and changed class just like the same with hearing public high schools. Why new Deaf students from hearing schools do NOT have education about "HARASSING" gay/lesbian/straight? Again go read on this "NEA's Safe Schools for Everyone" link: http://www.nea.org/schoolsafety/glbt.html

To my concern thoughts about Where's "RESPECT"????!!!! Thank you. Shawn

“Deaf” Jerry Springer Talk Show about "Deaf Wedding Planner" Reviews

(7 minutes & 10 seconds video clip)

Hey “Deaf” Jerry Springer where he could bring two sides of stories to audience! I am a straight married woman. I wanted to express my own thoughts! Don't I have a right to have "Freedom of Speech (or Express)"??? We the parents are responsible to educate our children to learn how to stop the "Hate Crimes" from anywhere.

Thank you, Blueapplefilms (Gary Brooks) for your wonderful "Deaf Culture" entertainment! We need to learn from our own Deaf Culture too but not only "hearing culture" entertainment! We need to be more inclusive!!!

Okay now I respect few of the vloggers who wanted to keep the comments be open to the public from my vlog and I understand that we have to learn how to FACE the criticisms from the "Anonymous" commenters in our lifetime until we die on this earth.

Enjoy your weekend!!! Shawn

Wonder about DBC's Flyers????

(under 4 minutes video clip)

I did watched Shrimpy's video clip called "Response to ASL MUSIC (B.A.B)" on her vlog link: http://wwwblogdeafreadcomshrimpy.blogspot.com/2007/08/response-to-asl-music-bab_5667.html

And wow very hot interesting issues from ASL Music's vlog link: http://aslmusic.blogspot.com/2007/08/why-do-parents-ci-their-baby.html

I want to thank both Shrimpy and ASL Music for their awsome hard working to express their thoughts and perspective!!!

Just wondering myself if the DBC will be okay for some of us to post that DBC's flyer on the bulletin board at food shoppings, public library, some stores, and anywhere nearest by the hospitals and Deaf Oral Schools??? Or what????!!!! Or should we wait until later after the DBC's decisions first????


Hey Deaf Columbia, Missouri... Someone told me there is possibly will be 5 (five Deaf Oral School) here in Missouri but I do not buy from that hearing person who did informed me... Please do check out the new Deaf Oral School called "Moog" just moved to 3301 West Broadway... Is it much more bigger school building than the old Moog's school on 600 Silvey Road????

Boy, it's SO HOT weather outside! I missed my cool early morning long walk today!!! I better do my indoor work out from my watching at least 6 minutes on Blueapplefilms' vlog called "Everybody Love ASL!!!!" and then will do 30 more minutes workout before jumping myself in the shower!!!!

Hope you will have a very NICE day and take it easy with the HOT weather!!! Shawn

Something Happen In Gallaudet's Cochlear Implant Survey Committee????

1 minute and 2 seconds Video Clip was filmed last August 03, 2007, 06:02 AM (Friday morning) was already reported to make my comment on this link: http://cochlearized.blogspot.com/2007/08/cochlear-implants-do-work.html

That was happening from Gallaudet's Cochlear Implant Survey Committee after I King Jordan became President of Gallaudet in 1988. The Gallaudet Cochlear Implant Survey Committee did quit after they throw the "negative survey form papers" in the trash. Some of us are concerned to know why they, the Gallaudet's Cochlear Implant Survey Committe were not in good team work to respect Deaf community around the global world to become more healthier teamwork and leaderships????

Thanks. Shawn

Still War for Oralism VS ASL ????

Video clip (2 minutes & 4 seconds)



Here's the picture of Laurent Clerc (born Louis Laurent Marie Clerc) was born December 26, 1785. He should become St. Laurent Clerc! So we should be off from work on every Dec. 26 as "Holiday with paid" as Clerc has been called "The Apostle of the Deaf in America" and "The Father of the Deaf" by generations of American d/Deaf people!






















For Concern ASL Bible Lovers:




There's a book called "GERMANY AND THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE" written by Gerald Flurry, J. Tim Thompson and Stephen Flurry. Here's the link:

http://www.thetrumpet.com/index.php?page=book&id=1189

Many people are aware of the atrocities committed by Germany in World War ii, but would consider them ancient history. These people are completely unaware of the legacy which Adolf Hitler drew upon in creating his Nazi war machine. His was merely the latest resurrec­tion of a war-making empire with a long and bloody history. Did you know that the Bible prophesied of his regime—as well as the terrible emergence of one last resurrection in our day?


It is time we need to build more STRONGER DEAF FORT to protect and gaurd ASL for our future Deaf Children generations! Thanks, Shawn

Children and DBC 's Peaceful Demonstration at AGBAD Inspired Me!

(view on 7 minutes video clip)

JohnABC, thank you so much for accepting my vlog, yesterday! You ARE NOT ALONE! We, the Deaf Advocates need to be educated how to "BE ALWAYS COOL" whenever there are Deaf against Deaf, too! (Some of us, Deaf Advocates were already victims from some Deaf back stabbings,too just like hearings backstabbings on other hearings, too! There are some Deaf Oralists against some Deaf Oralists too!) Thank you so much for your response and shared your v-blog link: http://johnlestina.blogspot.com/2007/07/not-my-comment-but-im-still-abc.html


We (I need) Brianna, AV-Anthony, Mark's 2 children and Jehanne to educate us how to be PEACEFUL Demonstration before we go Milwaukee, Wisconsin next year!

My opinion: YES we should go ahead to have PEACEFUL demonstration in AGBAD at Milwaukee, Wisconsin!

Of course, I will not give up myself for advocating the DBC while there are too much Deaf against Deaf. I know that someone did used White Ghost's name! But I cannot accept bad words on my vlog's comment.. Sorry!!!

Thanks so much for all who involved in last weekend with the PEACEFUL protest at AGBAD! (including vloggers, bloggers and reports from email!)

BIG HUGE HUGS, Shawn

WHAT John ABC the Always Be Cool!!!

(View on my under one minute video clip)

I was so disgusted to read what John, ABC (Always Be Cool)'s comment on "This Is Only The Beginning!" from Ricky Taylor's blog! You can go find Ricky Taylor's title "This Is Only The Beginning" from the Deafread!

I don't understand what's going on with John, the ABC! I will lose my motivation skills from advocating for the Deaf children's sakes!!! It will be a waste of time from the beginning for the DBC (Deaf Bilingual Coaltion)!!! I am so impressed with the DBC's and Amy Cohen-Efron's hard work!!!

I am taking a long break from my vlog because I am feeling so DISGUSTED!

Thanks for your understanding! Shawn

No Love for Parents, Kids and Babies from AGBAD!

2 Video Clips:



(first video clip about 2 and half minutes)

Makes me wonder why NTID did asked us donate our money for NTID but they will give whole money to AGBAD to attack toward on us our family??? Not worth to feel bear (suffer)living in too much oppressive world from community, job, and everywhere on this earth!



(2nd 4 minutes video clip)

Sure no problem, Amy! Hope all of us do vent out our feelings to help us feel more better and more stronger!

Have a very nice weekend! Shawn

Why NO Inclusive Signing CODAs

(04:16 video clip):

I support SIGNS FOR A LIFETIME for all Deaf and Hearing (CODA and KODA)children to be inclusive! So that will help our future children to build up their own more positive self esteems! I do not understand why someone did mentioned that that "AGBell is very inclusive group" while there was an harmful attacked toward on my Deaf son's forehead when he was in mainstream public school. My Deaf son cannot go to my hearing son's public elementary school because that public elementary school rejected my Deaf son who did already know how to use sign language at his age 5 years old (kindergarten)!

Thanks for your own time to read my short msg and watch my video clip!

Respectfully Signs For A Lifetime Inclusively yours! Shawn

Destroy and Oppress ASL

View on my under 5 minutes video clip.

Does it means that interpreter who tries to teach from age 7 to 14 Oral and TC (Total Communication or Sim Com) campers how to have their own rights to DESTROY and OPPRESS ASL campers? I NEED take a BIG BREAK for this whole summer because I did volunteered at that camp from 8 am to 1 pm for whole 5 days before went work at night shift hours.

Have a VERY GOOD DAY! Shawn

History: Catholic Aborted ASL (American Sign Language) Deaf Education!

My 3 minutes and 47 seconds video clip.

Since 1837, SJI has provided a nurturing ASL (American Sign Language) environment for children and families until 1934 the Catholic aborted our beautiful ASL (American Sign Language) here in St. Louis.

Right now to my concern: Does St. Louis Archbishop have a right to abort the closed captioned from his own video clip on both Quick Time format and Windows Media format?
Please do go view on St. Louis Archbishop Burke's video link:

http://www.archstl.org/commoffice/2007/cgcmc_quicktime.html

What shall we, Deaf Catholic Community do with St. Louis Archbishop Burke if he do still stubborn for not using the Closed Captioned for us all Deaf Catholic Community??
