No question about that. also where does $4 million monies go? It should be investigated, strangely the auditors did overlook that monies? We should get external auditors to investigate!

She has resisted elitism all her life and strongly encourages diversity and acceptance among all. She is by no means Deaf of Deaf - she is the only deaf person in her family. Please be careful about what you say about the Bay Area community. Assumptions are dangerous. I am from a hearing family. I was mainstreamed for most of my school career.

For the FSSA to say "it is apparent that the threats to Ms. Baldwin came from the West Coast" pretty much hits the bullet mark! Those who spread the gospel of Deafhood need to examine themselves and their motives first!

I totally agree with you. DE is splitting the Bay Area community in half...literally. Even those of us who embrace Deafhood believe DE is (sadly) misinterpreting Deafhood. I have wondered what Paddy Ladd must be thinking. There are many who see DE as a unfit leader with CSDF lackeys and he is slowly poisoning this community instead of encouraging it to grow.

I am sure people who do this sort of thing do in behind doors, too afraid to in the open. The attack like the bullies they are and then point the fingers at someone who has nothing to gain- neither IKJ or the Board have anything to gain from this.
