He is on the NAD's "Deaf Education" committee. What have JKF (Jane Fernandes) done so far which she never bother to be involved in any deaf advocacy organizations. She ever neither became a member of any deaf organizations like the NAD. Have Jane Fernandes interacted with any of us, deaf fellows in the past and lately? Nope! We need someone, who have the pulse of the community and hobnobble with people in general. Tony Blair definitely changed the stotic Great Britian into the hippish and lively British from his leadership willingly to buck the so-called traditions and precedents. Blair kinda save the English monarachy from herself during the Princess Diane's unexpectational death. RLM Vikee,

I would rather have JKF as the Education Czar. She is MUCH MORE qualified than anyone can think of including that Innes fella. As for Josh being an RIT/NTID student. Who the hell cares! He blogs what he thinks, he's deaf, he's smart and he can sure as hell write. So what's the problem? Hearty Congratulations to Dr Weiner! I'm proud of him! :-) Ah!

I chatted with Josh at the NAD's Open House few weeks ago. I found him incredibly intelligent and observable. Josh Allman is definitely a DEAF person himself. I somewhat get the same feelings about too many RIT people work at Gallaudet University lately or somewhat meddles in Gallaudet affaris since the "UFG" protest. We sometimes really need an outsider to report something on Gally campus without feeling any attachment to particular individuals working or studying at Gallaudet University. I felt little insulted about Josh's use of blog title like "Always the Bridemaid, Never the Bride" to write about the beloved Dr. Steve Weiner. At least, we had to embrace the black humor from time to time. We, Gallaudetians have to keep the close eyes on RIT/NTID people what they are really up to. My understanding about RIT/NTID people being outspoken and deeply concerned about the Gallaudet community and the rest of deaf community at large. Gallaudet, RIT/NTID, CSUN and the rest of deaf educational facilities of the deaf ought to work together for the best interests of Deaf Education. That would be really nice for Dr. Jay Innes to be hired as the "Deaf Education" Czar at the U.S. Department of Education. We really need the "Deaf Education" Czar in the federal government in response to the unnacceptable state of the Deaf Education in America. Robert L. Mason (RLM) In defense of Josh Allman.

That's the problem with Gallaudet. I see Gallaudet as a gigantic everlasting bubble that has yet to pop. So, I applaud Mr. Allman's for reporting on such news regarding Gallaudet. Think about it: Why do we have Media out there these days? Does that mean ABC/CBS/NBC/FOX News/ CNN and many alternative media have no business in reporting the news out there when one may have no significant ties to such events that may occur? I don't think so. Wake-up! And, the word, “Gallaudetized” is rather offensive as Gallaudet should be open to the community outside the campus.

I think Josh did a good job from where I stand.

After all, your comments regarding "that Innes-loser and this Weiner" hardly appear to qualify you as a neutral objective correspondent on the subject.

At least that Innes-loser isn't Provost but we can do better than this Weiner. What business does a RIT student have to do in commentary about Gallaudetized matters?
