An incorruptible ASDB?

Incorruptible? Depends on which side we're talking about at the Arizona School for the Deaf and Blind.  This won't be known exactly how until the investigation is over. But some of the corruption is now coming to light based on a blog I wrote over two years ago about a mysterious anonymous commenter with a pseudonym "Fiver" appears to have merits at this point.  This anonymous person made some bold claims about publicly funded deaf schools and how it's time state lawmakers need to look into those schools for impropriety. The protests at ASDB may have simply been an impulse reaction in the effort to protect their "Queen Bee" and their supposed agenda that has been secretly building from within the confines of ASDB the indoctrinating deaf and hard of hearing students may finally be showing their colors. All these protestations sound very much like a case of biting the hands that feed you which may spell trouble in the end once the investigation is over. But I digress. We'll have to wait and see although I'm not sure if this would actually be the case but various comments (here and here) that I have come across about the ASDB fiasco seems to corroborate Fiver's claims which leaves me wondering at this point.

Remember this one? "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers." Especially when they have some support from the Government. Deafhood is not merely a movement, it's a hideous, dangerous and counter-productive ideology. Many of the people associated with Deafhood are mere followers, they really have no idea just how destructive this movement/ideology is. This "thing" has destroyed and altered terribly the lives of many already, usually those who cannot stand against them and succumb. Among them are young children whose parents unwittingly commit them to deaf schools where those pushing Deaf Culture and Deafhood assimilate them into "Deaf Culture" as a source of raw recruits for future members. Deaf Culture is dying, yet they're trying to revive it. These children are shut out of the usage of speech and hearing as much as they can possibly be, without raising suspicions and creating a conflict with state authorities. Deafhood has expanded it's control of state schools for the deaf and enforces it's Deaf Culture and ASL-only doctrine as the only mode of communication. I have witnessed the repudiation of "SIMCOM" or "Total Communication" where any staff member using this means faced discipline and termination. NO speech is allowed, ASL only! Turn off your voice! The parents of these children unwittingly placed within those cultures have no idea what their child is being subjected to. The Deaf deny them that right to know, going so far as to use speech during parental visits, but speech ends as soon as the parents are gone!

State lawmakers need to investigate what is going on within government funded schools. These schools do not belong to the Deaf! These schools are publicly funded schools for all of society and have been hijacked.

I am going to stop here but will be posting more in the future. My pseudonym for this forum: Fiver. I fully expect the Deafhood "leadership" to start looking for me now, as I am within their ranks, the most dangerous threat to their plans.

I am: Fiver! 

This anonymous person "Fiver" raised some important questions from me now that I look back. Exactly what roles or influences have these "Deafhood" leaders had over Arizona School for the Deaf and Blind, if any? Or any deaf schools for that matter. What are the connections, if any?  Can anyone corroborate Fiver's claims in the above? Is there an official policy at ASDB outlining their "ASL-only" policy and that using your (oral) voice is not permitted or allowed?  Are parents (both deaf and hearing) being fully informed on what takes place at school with their son or daughter in class?

According to the ASDB 2012 Performance Audit Report:

ASDB’s mission is to work with parents, school districts, and others to enable children with a vision or hearing loss to develop their abilities, strive to achieve academic excellence, and develop skills to help them become productive and responsible members of society. This mission aligns with ASDB’s statutory responsibility to provide educational services, including instruction in a direct communication environment, so that deaf, hard-of-hearing, and visually impaired students may become self-sustaining and useful citizens.

Direct communication environment involves both ASL and aural-oral training/exposure for students who wear cochlear implants (what about hearing aids?) according to the audit report.  If teachers from within the ASDB are actively trying to suppress any speech and hearing development as much as they can then, according to Fiver, they are violating state law. As Fiver said, "Children must be taught English in order to function and be economically viable in the world, once they leave the school." Suppressing speech and hearing development from students who have the capability is a part of the process ensuring that they become economically viable once they leave safe bubble world of ASDB.
