Not Only Lied To, But Also Lied About

We the Deaf are being not only lied to, but also lied about. And even worse, we are being used and exploited. I am not a pacifist—I think there are times when there are things worth fighting for. But helping IKJ and JKF build a bigger endowment on an erratic priority is not worth touting for.

Looking at the students at Gallaudet University, we see the same pattern. Gallaudet University lied to them and lied about them. It told them that there was no leadership crisis. It told them that there was no campus brutality.

All of these things were lies. There has been no leadership at Gallaudet University with a lame duck president. There are some students hurt by police brutalities. And we the Deaf do not welcome these lies; we have instead, done everything we can to help FSSA and fight the oppressors.

The good news is that more and more Deaf people across our nation are setting up Tent Cities to support FSSA. Across the country, alumni activists are organizing resistance to Gallaudet University in favor of FSSA.

We need to turn up the heat at Gallaudet. We must do everything we can to get the word out in our government and communities. We will hold the liars accountable for their self-touting arrogance and indifference.
