JKF, No Plan B? Tough Luck!

JKF recently made a public appearance and made a patronizing yet audistic (relating to an ability to hear) statement: “Young people can’t make their appointments to get their hearing aids and hearing tests.” JKF is a sorry case.

An effective leader has Plan B when Plan A fails. JKF apparently failed both plans.

Ask why Gallaudet University is not community-friendly? Deaf community and many other communities such as teaching hospitals (George Washington University Hospital, Georgetown University Hospital, etc.)? Must young people have their hearing tested at Gallaudet University? Can they be referred to those other hospitals as an effective part of Plan B? Is it really important that Deaf child to have their hearing tested and retested and re-evaluated? Is deafness okay? Does it need to be fixed? What does hearing aids stand for? Is being hearing better than being Deaf?

JKF simply made a “hearing” statement that we won’t hear it. Tough luck!
