Elaine, well done to said! I totally agree with your opinion!

Firstly, one should note the difference between an ASL student and an ASL (future interpreting) student . It is very hard to interpret into a language, which one is still learning (although since it is a play scripts will help immensely). Secondly, I completely agree with putting all conflicts aside. The task of interpreting a play or simply truly understanding the language will take lots of time and effort. However, I disagree with putting aside beliefs, which goes back to my two types of students. The first category of simply ASL students do not have to put aside there beliefs, where as the second group would. It is not right to edit something one is interpreting just because that person does not agree with or feel comfortable with repeating that message. Such as, Many people do not become interpreters because they refuse to repeat things like cuss words, which would then change the message of what would have been said. Therefore, I agree with the message as long as it is directed toward future interpreting students.
