More stupidity at its best

Unfortunately true. Society needs to lighten up so to speak.The child is being taught the acceptable sign language; it is the institution that is sending the wrong message.

I've been involved in many fights owing to misunderstandings and held at gun point with the flashlight shined in eyes disabling me to lip read because I did not hear the commands of the law enforcement officer (LEO).

Due to lawsuits a few localities but not all LEO's are being trained in recognizing and how to respond accordingly to people with handicaps including the deaf and HOH. Unfortunately many ignore or unaware of recognizing signs.

These types institutions that focus on ideology and rewriting history instead of spending the time and resources to teach how to be considerate are what's primarily failing parents that don't know better.

My personal thanks to this administration encouraging the highest record of CCWP issuance and creating jobs at firearms and ammo factories.

How many remember when carrying a knife to school or taking a 22 pea shooter to school show and tell was no big deal? In today’s world you live by certain rules, same way with code enforcement, use to be a time when a napkin drawing was good enough. Teach the child to function in today’s society, not a society that you dream about. I would hope society would lighted up, but then I have to put a helmet on, bring back the good old days.

Yeah, nothing like ten-year olds working in a button factory.
 
Napkins. Those were the good old days. In fact, the 1997 UBC required plans to be drawn to scale on substantial paper or cloth.

That's about the time that we upgraded to place settings and table cloths. I guess it was determined that napkins aren't professional enough.
 
It's sounds to me that in just 55 shorts years that I have been around we have lost a lot. Sad.

Cupability for ones own actions or inactions

Loss of open dialouge and discussions for fear of being attacked as racistist, homophobic, bigoted, insensitive, or any other negative name that could be used or implied.
 
Yea Brudgers! The best thing about the good old days is that they are gone!

So what you miss about the good old days is not being responsible for what you say.

Or the school steps into fill the void, has in this case, created by irresponsible parents lacking the ability to comprehend the difference in raising hearing has opposed to nonhearing children in todays society.
 
I loathe the hyper sensitivity in our schools and the intolerance of defending oneself or others, the inablity to discuss controversal issues and the inability to take responsibelity. On the other hand by the time I was 15 years old I had been in countless fights, had to deal with pediphiles more than once and while I escaped injury we just didn't talk about these things so some poor kid after me may not of been so furtunate, had over two hundred stitches and three broken bones from stupid things kids do when not supervised and so on. My 13 year old son or 14 year old daughter has not had to deal with any of these issues yet. I grew up in good neighborhoods so that was not the difference. This is all without addressing the issue of race, my son is adopted and hispanic he would of had a hard time in the schools I went to. So I am willing to deal with todays problems without longing for the old days.

So wait, you want the schools to provide for the children's welfare in lieu of their parents? This because of your deep belief that the state knows better than it's citizens, right?
 
I think with all the political correctness today has caused a lot of our problems saying what you might think people want to hear instead of saying what they need to hear. they need to take a deep breath, and blow their heads out of their rear ends.
