How can AG Bell start to repair their embarrassment from the bigoted letter to Pepsico about Deaf people using sign language?
Some members of DHHS express their disappointment of Alexander T. Graham and Karen Youdelman’s letter that showed their perspective of Deaf people that uses sign language.
AG Bell Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHHS) members are adults who experienced hearing loss at birth and use spoken language as their primary mode of communication. AG Bell DHHS members are technology savvy using the latest in hearing (digital hearing aids and cochlear implants) and communication technology.
Should AG Bell remove their exclusionary leaders and start having new leaders that will build the “harmony” bridge for all Deaf and Hard of Hearing people together and have equal respect for American Sign Language and other mode of communications for all deaf babies and children in schools?
If the Black Community can demand Don Imus to be fired, then the Deaf Community can demand Alexander T. Graham and Karen Youdelman to be fired from AG Bell.
Who is Don Imus?

Yes, but,…. oh well,… gee, you have to understand that we have double standards all over the place in America.
It’s Graham and Youdelman against these….what you call these deaf people…insignificant? or “that these people ain’t going do anything about it anyway”
Ha, the media don’t give a shit about deaf people.

John Egbert,
Why the secrecy about who you are?
