Whoa! I browsed to the link you posted and, embedded within it, is the following from the National Association of the Deaf annual meeting this year:

...Paddy Ladd sent a page to David Eberwein during the presentation to tell us the following message: "We are faced with new colonialist forces which aim to wipe Deaf people from the face of the Earth. Even though this cannot be achieved of course, the damage they will wreak in the process needs to be confronted by us. But let us also present the positive reasons why Sign Language Peoples are here on Earth - for what we can teach hearing people about the full beauty of life...."
David continued that we need to understand what has been done to us and that will help us move towards Deafhood. The damage that happened in the past will be faced by us. We are continually busy arranging our events to stay afloat in this world and not focused on changing the system. He said that we can strike back by causing economic damages such as bringing on lawsuits against the government and other organizations. It's only when money is being lost on their part, they will feel more compelled to change how things are run...

See? See? These people are nuts, and vindicative as hell, and total Bolsheviks on top of it.
