We argue for the existence of a state constitutional legal right to language. Our purpose here is to develop a legal framework for protecting the civil rights of the deaf child, with the ultimate goal of calling for legislation that requires all levels of government to fund programs for deaf children and their families to learn a fully accessible language: a sign language.
我们主张存在一项州宪法规定的语言合法权利。我们在此的目的是建立一个保护失聪儿童民权的法律框架,最终目标是呼吁立法,要求各级政府为失聪儿童及其家庭提供资金,以便他们学习一种完全无障碍的语言:手语。
