I took an massive amount of crap a couple of weeks ago from deaf football fans about closed captioning at games. My stand on that hasn’t changed one iota.
Having said that, I think what they are doing at Gallaudet is more than the right thing to do, at least at their school. In a normal school I’d say if you don’t like the new administration then go somewhere else. But this is different because there are not a hell of a lot of choices when it comes to where deaf students can get a quality education. If the powers-that-be are not responsive to the needs of the student body then the students have to use what ever they can to get the job done. I’m not sure I agree with keeping people that want to learn out of class. But drastic times take drastic measures.
More power to them.
