Alexander Graham Bell is not "the Father of the deaf"
What does the term "the father of the ..." means? It means "a person who has originated or established something: example: the father of modern psychology; the founding fathers" or "to be the creator, founder, or author of; originate."
If you search the Internet, you will find that Etienne Decroux has been called the "father of modern mime." Further investigation will net you this information: Etienne is the creator of Dramatic Corporeal Mime.
Example from the Bible: Genesis 4:20-21 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. 21 His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
Jabal established the idea of living in tents and raising livestock. All those who lived in tents and raised livestock followed his idea. So, Jabal was "the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock." Same idea with Jubal. He founded the idea of playing the harp and flute. Others followed in his footstep.
One more example from the Bible: Romans 4:1 says that "Abraham is the father of all who believe." It is explained that faith is the key and those who "follow" Abraham's example of believing God are counted as righteous.
So it does not make sense that Alexander Graham Bell is "the father of the deaf." Did he create deaf? Did he establish the idea of deaf? Did he give an example of deaf so that we can follow his footstep? No, no, no!!! If however, A. G. B. is called "the father of oralism," then I would tend to believe.
