Description
When I accept another person’s language, I accept the person. When I reject the language, I have rejected the person, because language is part of ourselves. When I accept sign language, I accept the deaf person, and it’s important to always bear in mind that the deaf person has the right to be deaf. We shouldn’t change them, we should teach them, help them, but we have to allow them to be deaf.” (Terje Basilier).
