I'm not deaf and I find this offensive. I thought this was going to be a story about his middle finger. The people who are against this kid signing his name the way he does should just barricade their children indoors and homeschool them.

The story is absolutely ridiculous.

But seriously, that kid is adorable.

Political correctness running wild.

Unfortunate par for the course the way things are today. Completely asinine.

Unbelievable ...... I do not recognize my country anymore.

Unbelievable ...... I do not recognize my country anymore.

Oh, but I recognize my home state from a mile away. I grew up a few hours from here and this doesn't surprise me in the least.

My daughter is a sign language interpreter. This really offends her.

Hey Hos, How are things old buddy?

Yes, I imagine it does. It should offend all of us. It's beyond stupid.

Yep... a nation once based on freedom has evolved into a country of silly rules...

Yes, she took two years of it in HS, and loved it. It is now her major with a minor in Library Science. I have a resident in one of my apartments who is deaf. She interprets for me.

I have even gone to sign language performing arts with her at the University of Arizona. I was unaware of the ways deaf people clap with their hands in the air. I thought that was outstandingly cool.

Monday we were walking our dog at a local park and 2 young ladies and 2 small kids wanted to pet her. She's very pretty. I noticed one of the young ladies was hearing impaired and I told my daughter. They immediately started talking to each other. That young girl was so thrilled to get to talk to someone. Her face lit up and she was really quite beautiful. Made me proud of my daughter.
