Berke Outspoken Sun, Oct 22 2006
To the hunger strikers: Please stop the hunger strike. Here are five reasons why you should stop:1. You have made your point. You got the attention you wanted from the deaf community and the media. Both will lose interest after awhile.2. You may be putting your health at risk, as many commenters/bloggers have noted. It is getting cold out, and a body weakened by lack [...]

(407 visits) Protesters Against Section 504?
Mike McConnell Sun, Oct 22 2006
There is a growing acknowledgement that this protest is seemingly if not exclusively all about the preservation of ASL or American Sign Language, which is fine, however. In the beginning of the protest in May protesters claimed that they weren't protesting because Dr. Jane K. Fernandes wasn't "Deaf" (ie culturally deaf) enough but about her ability to be a leader. [...]

One thing that’s contributing to the erosion of her support is the influence of new media. Over at PBS, Mark Glaser wrote about the impact of deaf bloggers and other new media.

Banjo's World Sun, Oct 22 2006
Not too sure about what I?m referring to? Don?t worry about it; you?re not the only one. It?s still relatively unknown to the public. It?s a feature included with the software, ?iChat?. It?s an instant messaging application developed by Apple.I see it as a great benefit to the deaf and hard-of-hearing. The purpose of ?Bonjour? is to take advantage of the network [...]

Susan Burch, a hearing white historian and professor of history at Gallaudet University, researched and wrote a book, Signs of Resistance: American Deaf Cultural History, 1900 to 1942.  Take a moment to contemplate a few excerpted comments from the book jacket. “...Historians have all assumed that in the early decades of the twentieth century oralism triumphed [...]

ASL Community Journal Sun, Oct 22 2006
I am challenging a particular sentence that has been said by several people, “While I do not support the lockdowns of HMB and campus, I support the protest.”  If there were no lockdowns, would we find out that Jordan hijacks Gallaudet University Alumni Association’s database of 15,000 names? If there were no lockdowns, would Jordan order a [...]
