Why do you think the Alexander Graham Bell Foundation protested when NBC broadcast a performance by National Theater for the Deaf (NTD)? If you were a spokesperson for the NTD, what would you have said or done in response?

The Alexander Graham Bell Foundation protested when NBC broadcasted a performance by National Theater for the Deaf (NTD) because the foundation was against the promotion of using Sign Language.

If I were a spokesperson for the NTD, I would have ignored such claims or point out to the foundation that programmes like that will help deaf people greatly in gaining exposure to the theater arts, which are designed mainly for people who can hear.

Explanation:

The Alexander Graham Bell Foundation was against promoting the use of Sign Language and protested when NBC broadcasted a performance by the NTD, they thought such performances would undermine the effort of parents who are struggling to teach their deaf children how to speak.
