Heads, Audism Wins. Tails, Levinson?s Head Rolls.
BiblioMarket I’m taking bets, and will be flipping a coin. Heads, Audism wins. Tails, Ken Levinson’s head rolls. Ken Levinson, longtime Gallaudet Board member, who is himself deaf, but does not use any sign language unless he -absolutely- has to, has been accused in the past of harboring elitist snobbery towards the signing community.

BoT Levinson?s Unacceptable Conduct Again
Mishka Zena Commentary: This is disturbing, especially after his comments recently to a group of highly educated professional deaf people in California.  Mr. Levinson’s comments reflect the audism toward the signing component of the deaf community and the lack of mutual respect to this group. Audism is very pervasive at Gallaudet and something we all must resolve.  Audism [...]

Saying that you work for the Gallaudet PR Department these days must be worse than admitting that [...]
