I have a deaf son who goes to the Florida School for the Deaf & Blind. It is giving my boy, and all the other students, the
best chance at success in life.I can't say enough positive things about that place. The left wingers here in our school system in Lee county Florida tried to mainstream him. He always felt like he was outside the mainstream, because he was "different". At FSDB he is just another student where the curriculum or teaching methods are geared to increase his chances for survival in the "hearing world"
America The Beautiful is a great American song, but it is not the National Anthem. The National Anthem is what should be sung at the Super Bowl.
The campus is in a beautiful area too! The Georgia School For the Deaf is in Cave Spring, Georgia, one of the pleasantest little towns in Georgia. The upside, is the school has been there for so long, (over 100 years) that the people in the town have adapted to the school and most of the citizens know at least rudimentary sign language. Many of the students settle in the town after they graduate since it is such a deaf friendly area. Several years ago, some of the bureaucrats in Atlanta wanted to move the school to suburban Atlanta which was a horrid idea. The kids are much better off out in the country where the crime is low and people think of them as their own.
