Note Howard Portnoy’s comment in the article. The school district is switching the student from SEE signing to ASL signing. BIG difference.
My response to Howard and why this is egregious is embedded in the HotAir article comments section. It is just another way for the school to override the decisions of the parents.

As a teacher of the deaf, I commend the parents and supporters. They are the true experts, not the politically-motivated bureaucrats. They know NOTHING about special education.
School officials are so stupid sometimes. I can’t believe they are even allowed to teach kids.
Is this a ‘sign’ that common sense is coming back into vogue?
Unfortunately, this may be a hollow victory. Here is a blurb from the Green Room at HotAir:
