Brief explaination of Gallaudet protest

posted in Current Affairs, Deaf, General, deaf culture, sign language |

I received this in the comments and thought it would be useful to create a new entry. I welcome a counter-point. Just keep it factual and cordial.

This was submitted by Richard Roehm |:

This protest is, of course, the key event in the evolutionary proccess we’re seeing in the deaf community.

The protesters are all about the old deaf guards who dont believe in the re-intergration of deaf people back into the hearing society.

The deaf communities are facing major evolutionary changes in the near future which enable them to mainstream and re-integrate back into the hearing society. They are cochlear implants and recently, stem cells, which are promising to be part of the final solutions to addressing deafness. The medical marvels have enabled deaf people to function almost like hearing people. This has created a new deaf society in the past decade and this new deaf society has been slowly taking over Gallaudet University operations.

The protests youre seeing is the old deaf guard’s last stand against the changes in the future of deaf society, against the new deaf society taking over Gallaudet University.

Jane’s leadership has the support of the new deaf society and is best one to lead the new deaf society which comprises 80 percent of the students at Gallaudet into the future.

The protesters are about the past deaf society, about the old deaf guards who have become the scourge of the deaf communities.

They have to give it up because they cant beat the evolutionary proccess the deaf society is facing.

    The old deaf guards only represent the last 2% of the entire deaf society. They have brought scourge upon deaf people. Theyre not worth your time anymore. Theyre not worth occupying Gallaudet University space any more either. It’s time to sweep the old deaf guards off the Gallaudet campus, off the face of the deaf society.

    Excellent examples of the scourge from the old deaf guards can be found in one of Tom Bertling’s published books.

    Looking at this particular book, American Sign Language: Shattering the Myth, http://www.addall.com/detail/0963781359.html

    You can see stories of scourge casted upon prominent deaf leaders and inspirational deaf people by the old deaf guards. Even some of the scourge took place on Gallaudet University.

    Let’s all pay good homage to deaf leaders who lives have been catastrophically altered after becoming victims of cyber-bullying, rumor attacks either via email, newsgroups, blogs, postings, websites, falsified restraining orders, vandalism, and through many other undue intimidating actions.

    And let’s work together at eliminating these sources of scourge within the deaf communities. And we can begin this at the Gallaudet University Campus. Lets sweep the old deaf guards off the campus this moment. See my video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmR-iDa1yyQ and think about joining this war against indiscipline by the old deaf guards.

    I’ll be dealing with advertisers who buy ad spaces on the old deaf guard websites. They dont really support just the websites. They really support the terrorism and scourge the old deaf guards have brought upon many people. Time to nip this old deaf guard problem and the scourge they bring on people today!

    Finally I wish Jane all the best, as she begins her journey as the the main compass of the university, that she has the strength and courage to bounce off the storms of flak and scourge coming from the old deaf guards and the dissent.

    Richard, I’ve allowed you to leave two comments. I’m waiting for the “other side” of the story.

    Then Richard Roehm sent me a private email saying:

    Waiting for the other side of the story is also being part of the scourge. You listen to the old deaf guards spit out scourge on me and many others. The old deaf guards are history! And no more scourge.

    Richard

    What’s wrong with being “fair and balanced”?

    I’ve never been to Gally so why not someone explain to me why they’re
    protesting?

    Then Richard Roehm replied in private email:

    Thats how you define scourage by saying ‘fair and balanced’ you were never fair and balanced on me when I wanted to do conigen with you.

    And I get a lot more respect from my conigen uplines and downlines because theyre mature anough not to listen to scourge from the old deaf guards. Your open yourself up to these static. I get over 3 grand a month from conginen because i run it like a mature person and my upline and downline respects me for it. I’m glad I didnt do that through you.

    And before I had a chance to remind him that this weblog is my weblog and that “Cognigen” has nothing to do with this, and that I just wanted to hear the protestor’s side of the story, I get the following email from Richard Roehm:

    Screw you and your gins youre part of the scourge and my next video will be warning against doing business with scourge because it falls within terrorism.

    The feds visited my office this am to see the book I had that lists the scourge by the old deaf guards and they feel it falls within terrorism and asking their chief to help me put these old guards out of business.

    Richard

    Gallaudet Protest is the equivalent of terrorism????
    Prove it.

    I think the readers deserve to know that you’ve made a death threat against me for no reason a few years back. People deserve to know what kind of an “activist” you are.

    But I’m getting sidetracked here.

    Again, this is my weblog and I have every right to hear from the other side of the story.

    Anyone out there would like to offer a concise explaination of what the Gallaudet protest is about?

    Of course, a great source of lots of information on Gally protest is at Kokonut Pundits

    I just want one a short explaination and then consider the matter closed on this weblog and just let the others fight out elsewhere.
