Sound off: Should Deaf students be forced to mainstream?

What did you think of the latest episode of Switched at Birth?
Is this a sign of things to come?
See previous post of episode synopsis where
 the Carlton students stage an uprising
mirroring Gallaudet's "Deaf President Now" fight...
What is going on in your town, state, or nearest Deaf school?
Do you think this is just a tv show? I THINK NOT!
There are political agendas here, HUGE political agendas!
There are so many valid issues on both sides; as I see it anyway,
because I would love the opportunity to attend and immerse myself
 in Deaf culture, at least for a time.
BUT certainly NOT at the expense of their culture
or of their extracurricular programs.
Share your thoughts please...
Thank you:D
