Billboard Controversy

Some people in the Deaf community say they are offended by a billboard in Nebraska. It’s a promotion for the Omaha Hearing School and reads:
The secret’s out... Deaf children can listen and talk.
The school offers oral and auditory education. Those who are committed to Deaf Culture and American Sign Language see it as a insult, pushing kids away from the Deaf community. The school considers it a positive message.
