Dan McClintock Hi, good morning, everyone,I was recently informed by a friend that the reports of some protestors supposedly blocking MSSD and KDES students are not true, that it was "propaganda fed by the Gallaudet PR." Well, I will investigate this a little on my own. If it turns out to be entirely true, then I apologize to the public for giving my misimpression on the facts. In [...]

Response to the Letter from Clerc Center
GALLYBUSTERS It's well-written letters like these that garner more supporters. But if someone remembers how to distinguish a sentence based on opinion or fact, s/he will see that this particular letter from the Clerc Center is overtly opinionated.

testing_the_truth Irving Jordan let the office of President of Gallaudet University be usurped by university spokesperson Mercy Coogan. This outrageous act of relinquishing the ultimate authorithy and power in decision making to a staff person cannot go unnoticed.
