Jay;

Good point RE: “School FOR the DEAF”. Guess it isto make clear who this “school” is for. I too note many say, “Indiana School Deaf” or “ISD”, rahter than the full name. CHEERS!!!

As emotionally satisfying as that letter might be, let’s hope Schwartz won’t be disciplined by the University; let’s hope he got clearance to put this on the national stage with the University’s blessings. Personally, I think the way it was written does not bode well for positive dialogue.

Something that I learn about AGBad is one of reason to against and he is serious “genocide.”

Glad we have a education from DeafRead about AGBad’s background and what is different of deaf and oralism. I glad Michael Schwartz, wrote to Pespi Co about AGBad’s

Tayler, Thank you for send about Abbreviations Dictionary. I learn alot from all of people comment and inculding you,too..

My jaw already floored after I don’t really understand AGBad.

Now it looks like some of us confirmed that what Schwartz had brought up was not applicable to the Godwin’s Law since the practice of sterilization and eugenics originated by AG Bell was actually carried on by Hitler and the Nazis.

I have collected articles of testimonies of Holocaust survivors and witnesses and picked up a story when a German Deaf young woman who was pregnant from a German Deaf man was forced to an abortion and sterilization. Her hearing uncle fought and shouted “Damn Heil Hitler!” He then got executed for that and the Nazis sent his family an executioner’s bill.

This was what Schwartz was pointing out how the concept of eugenics that was derived from AG Bell by Hitler and the Nazis that they sterilized and murdered thousands of disabled including Deaf people.

My conclusion is that Schwartz has a right to bring up Holocaust since he is explaining how the practice of eugenics came in the picture that AG Bell was linked to Hitler and the Nazis.

It is indeed a well written letter pointing out the facts!
