The Gallaudet Protest: What you don't know
The Deaf Community is wise. The Deaf Community is strong ... but the Deaf Community does not have the whole TRUTH Much you have seen is untrue or only partially shared to make you see things in a wrong light. You are wise and strong enough to know the whole truth.

To all international students who are upset about the protest: Please contact David King by email. He is preparing a case against fssa/sbg for their unlawful acts in shutting down HMB. Give him your support. Speak out against those who destroy education and civility at Gallaudet.
contact him today- david.king@gallaudet.edu
Each of us has his own little private conviction of rightness, and almost by definition, the utopian condition of which we all dream is that in which all people finally see the error of their ways and agree with us. And underlying practically all our attempts to bring about agreement is the assumption that agreement is brought about by changing people's minds—other people's. S.I. Hayakawa
What a wonderful quote by Maya---I'm sure the protesters would not want to see or know about that as she is a hearing woman (and she's black too) what does she know about the struggle.
If people would take this quote to heart we could move forward in what needs to be done at Gallaudet. So many people say that it is not about Jane K. Fernandes and I agree it shouldn't be so STOP COMPLAINING about her and let's do something to change Gallaudet! It is time to move on and stop with the 2-year temper tantrum that will not change anything at the university.
