George bless his heart took the helm and explained it all.

 I was upset because it looks like this speration thing... but
it was actually to show how deaf peole can do art too...
It's so AMAZING that you'd have to even TELL people that?

Reminds me of another hair puller. There are actually hearing people
out there who think deaf /Deaf people can't have sex. I mean duh! Its'
like hearing is the all of end all you know? YOu prolly can't die
either unless you can hear (haha)

I googled -- looks like there was a deafness awareness week thing &
schoolkids were asked to submit artwork that somehow showed awareness
of deadf issues -- thre were age-appropriate projects for all grades,
including teaching some basic signs. . .


Ahh, there's a theme to firt the art into:


One example:
The theme for 1998 was "Deaf People Can Do Anything Except Hear."
