“Deaf people occupy a unique position. They make up the only cultural group where cultural information and language has been predominantly passed down from child to child rather than from adult to child, and the only one in which the native language of the children is different from the language spoken by the parents.”
Douglas C. Baynton, Forbidden Signs: American Culture and the Campaign against Sign Language

“In every society on earth the child is regarded as a member of his parents' groups.”
Douglas C. Baynton, Forbidden Signs: American Culture and the Campaign against Sign Language
