358: common sense Deaf power was surging through ...
Deaf in the City 358: common sense & bomb threatsSome things should be clear to everyone.It think is NOT protesting students who are calling in bomb threats.

Consciousness-Raising
Adam Stone Last Friday morning, Amila and I rode onto the school campus in a green three-wheeler and were met by boys who looked distraught. It was a poya day; this meant no classes and a three-day weekend. Nothing for overactive boys to be upset about, right? “Bald-Head is leaving! He’s leaving us!” they cried. Rohana Special School employs [...]
