One of many. One of a LONG LIST, most of which have nothing to do with her "identity". Yes, that’s one complaint that has come up. One of many.

I know Bobby's writings very well. I notice that is not really his own writings! Someone did help him! Bobby White is just a front man for the Concerned Students of Gallaudet University. At least, Bobby White praised the student protestors for being courageous last Friday night.

Well, it would not be a valid complaint if your fellow peers are not using this protest to advance their ASL vs every other form of communication. If you're not for ASL at all time, you're committing audism! This type of attitude pisses me off and allows me to be more swayed by JKF's and IKJ's perspectives. Stop telling me that I'm an audist because I believe in sim-com - Or as I like to call it - Total Communication. Quote: played the “not deaf enough” card.

THey also have the right to be angry at the situation at Gallaudet. -I do not think they should only direct their anger towards the protestors. It should be directed to EVERYBODY invloved. It was a series of indicents by everybody that brought us all to this point. Just my opinion. Comments:

One of the common complaints that keeps popping up, it's her signing ability as not being "ASL enough".

JANE announced that THEY announced that she awsn't deaf enough. That's her PR spin. Get it? They didn’t announce jane isn’t deaf enough.

Just because it HASN'T been done, doesn't mean it CAN'T or SHOULDN'T be done.

Either for me is fine, my point is that Faculty needs to be able to communicate and their methods should be subjected measurable standards.

I dont see any Civil Rights groups coming in to assist the protesters such as Jesse Jackson, your mayor in the Gally area...etc. Yes, it may be embrassing because they announced that Jane is not deaf enough, so let alone the civil rights group. Not only that, but what is the clear point?? Why are you still at Gally? Why did you wasted your tuititon? You could have gone to RIT, NTID, CSUN, or other local colleges... if hated Jane so badly. Truthfully, the protest needs to end. Did I see a 60 year old woman on TV, protesting? That is not a typical college...Its embrassing, news reporter on every channel is trying to capture what is the message, and its unthinkable and unclear in the media. Right now, I realized that Gally do discriminate if you are not deaf enough! I suggest you to get the school not to allow any hearing student in graduate school because they are not deaf enuff, why aren't you protesting on that issue??? What a racist remark! Not deaf enuff is like not black enuff, not white enuff, not american enuff! Most colleges protest may go for a few days to blow off some steam…but this protest at Gally is way too long.
