Parents Confront new School Board Members

The board for the Indiana School for the Deaf faced protesting parents today, upset over what appears to be the preference of oral training over ASL instruction. At today's meeting, the board promised not to do away with sign language at the school and emphasized plans to work out of a bilingual philosophy. The board has been under fire ever since the governor picked 4 new board members, three of whom were assumed to be in the oralist camp. There is now only one deaf person on the six member board.
