My cousin had to be taken out of his school because of people with attitudes like that. He had a cochlear implant, and although he went to a regular primary school there was a number of deaf families with kids at the school who made it very clear, in pretty unpleasant ways, to my cousin and his parents that they thought that his implant was entirely the wrong choice. Apparently it is a common attitude in the deaf community.
