Surdinalism

Destruction, marginalization, minimization, infantilization, and replacement of:

natural Deaf way of being
Signed languages

for economic and ideological control through the supremacy of listening, speaking, written and signed English
How? Linguistic & cultural marginalization and destruction of the Deaf cultures and signed languages.

Oralism can be seen as a totalitarian form of surdinalism of the Deaf people, banning signed languages and mass firing of Deaf teachers from Deaf schools.
