I assume there must be a reason why sign language is superior but I genuinely don’t know why.

    That blog is an argument for helping them with literacy when in school…

    Not giving up on literacy as an adult.

    If a deadlf adult has difficulty reading, it’s not because they’re deaf or it’s “not their first language” it’s probably because they were left behind in school because really old stereotypes were still around when they were in school

    You seem to be arguing that those harmful stereotypes are true, and deaf people are innately bad at written language. Which frankly is offensive enough I’m done here.

    Lots of different groups get left behind in schools, it doesn’t mean they’re stupid, it means they didn’t get the education they need.
