"Strictly oral-deaf people who don't know how to sign, refuse to learn even the rudiments, and may have a political bias against the Deaf community."--pg. 207, p. 2Disliking others who are in their position of not being able to hear and stubbornly refusing to learn an easier way for them to communicate seems like it would make life difficult and lonely.
I am surprised they did not press hearing people not using their voices around Deaf people more, but simply noted that some do not. In class we have been taught that it is quite inconsiderate to speak when Deaf people are present because it makes it where they cannot understand the conversation.
