Comments on: All the Deaf World’s a Stage at Gallaudet http://www.deafdc.com/blog/juanita-garcia/2006-10-05/all-the-deaf-worlds-a-stage/ Fri, 10 Oct 2008 20:39:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: testing_the_truth http://www.deafdc.com/blog/juanita-garcia/2006-10-05/all-the-deaf-worlds-a-stage/#comment-21841 testing_the_truth Sun, 08 Oct 2006 09:20:14 +0000 http://www.deafdc.com/blog/juanita-garcia/2006-10-05/all-the-deaf-worlds-a-stage/#comment-21841 Police brutality must stop right now!! Oppression and terror is all over the campus. David King, a well-known bully who was linked to physical threat at a mailing list, sent an intimidating letter to protestors, threatening with lawsuit. The guy is from Africa, I mean he knows sht of American law zero. He is puppet, instructed from Kelleher's anti-protest headquarter. There was a fake bomb scare, probably a felony committed by her Gang. Students were brutalized by the Gallaudet police. AOP reigns on campus!! (Apparatus of Oppression, word coined by Kathy Woods) The Board of Trustees escaped the campus. They left behind AOP. They are not willing to face the challenge. Arrogant members of the Board (allegedly female) terrorize others into submission to Jordan the 'Godfather' and his cose nostra. Decent Board members have stand up! They need to take back leadership of the Board from the reign of puppets, restore the Board's dignity and resolve the crisis at Gallaudet. Otherwise Congress will have to act and create a new page in Gally history. Jane Fernandes revealed her true face as arrogant and oppressive power-grabber. She will never be accepted. Jordan's legacy is finished. He became one with Kim-Ir Tseng II of North Korea. His personal cult needs to be dismantled. A whole lotta work must be done before we can truly rest and resume normalcy.

A whole lotta work must be done before we can truly rest and resume normalcy.

When a BoT member asked for an example of oppression at Gallaudet, Jesse Thomas said his "mind raced all over the place." He was not prepared for the question. Spokesperson? I don't think so. Ryan Commerson ... um... how can I put this? He may be nice, but I haven't seen that in him on any of the videos. Raging and out of control is more like it. good looking, though.

They would be more articulate and logical than the current FSSA spokeperson, especially Ryan Commerson. Many Gallaudet students agreed with me how they really feel about Ryan Commerson being an ineffective FSSA spokeperson. I have nothing personal against Ryan Commerson as a person. He is really a NICE guy. I would like to see Jesse Thomas being the major spokeperson or someone with media expertise. We need real media expert like several Gallaudet alumnis. I would not list their names on the public forum. We need several deaf people with the public relations degree or media relations for effective public opinion broadcastings. Robert L.

Of course, Gallaudet University transformed itself in many ways from 50s to 2000s when come to the finanical support of daily university operations. Everyone seems keep discussing about the status of Gallaudet University whether it is really a private university or federal properrty. The truth of the PRESENT Gallaudet University is the private property donated by Kendall Amos which never have been the federal property. The IKJ and JK adminstration just try to scare off people about the Gallaudet University being the federal property. Why didn't the protestors have been arrested back last May for blocking the route access via entrance points? Many universities receive federal fundings for various research studies and grant supports, BUT would not make these campuses to be the federal property. Gallaudet University and Howard University did have the real special relationships with the federal government til the late 80s. Both universties finanically supplaned themselves wtih private donations and constant fundraisings nowadays. Where are the FBI or federal law enforcement officers on the premise of Gallaudet University so far?? Where is the annual GAO report of Gallaudet University's entire budget??? Yes, GAO could investigative on Gallaudet's federal spendings where they go.

The aims of FSSA are two: reopen the search process and JKF to resign as the president select. That's all there is. No wonder they're losing, eh. They aren't going to win this one. I hope that FSSA will wake up, see the light, and start working with the deaf community, Gallaudet, and the BoT on the things that can be changed, and not on what cannot. If they can do this, I'm certain they will see a lot more support from the outside community than they're getting right now. I can help you out there, C&D.

The levels of hyperbole being expressed from FSSA is reaching the astronomical! I'm appreciating the ironies of seeing pro-FSSA engage in their deficit thinking for pages and pages... whereas others are showing true Deafhood by accepting all deaf and every deaf regardless of schooling or mode of communication as one big deaf collective. Review Part III, Genie Gertz's Deafhood presentation at JoeyBaer.com, and you'll see what I mean. I'm more than ready for everyone to get on the same page and address the issues that concern us all.

What is Gallaudet's language policy? Where can I see it for myself so I can make my own judgments? Exactly how does it "mischaracterize" ASL? Why should the policy be distasteful to ASL users? Knowing how universities work, I am positive the current policy was the work of a committee and not IKJ or JKF all by their lonesomes. And knowing Gallaudet, I'm positive that some "strong deaf leaders" were involved with the policy committee. If the policy isn't to their liking, are they not partially responsible for it?

The no confidence vote occurred during a faculty meeting at which not ALL faculty members were present. So to say "majority of faculty" is not accurate. You could say that the "majority of faculty WHO WENT TO THE MEETING" voted no confidence. The rest of them stayed away. Secondly, rights of free speech, press, and assembly are not absolute. There are allowed restrictions. Enough said. I’m a bit weary of this myth being repeated as fact.
