MicahBrwn's Xanga My final, FINAL Word...I realize that I said that my previous post was my final word on the protests... but after re-reading it, I had a bit of a regret. I want to be clear that I do support many of the aims of the FSSA. Obtaining a voice for future decision-makers is absolutely a necessity.

Reductio ad Fernandesum
Jean Per the posts at the other weblogs and my comments at the DeafDC.com, I have some thoughts on the speculation and discussion of "ism" and "Fernandes isn't Deaf enough".The truth is, before I came here in America, the concept of racism was thoroughly foreign to me. To construe what I mean, there were racists and racism movement in Europe without any doubt, but racism [...]

FSSA Overwhelmed!
Deaf Kitchen But in a good way! Was talking with Matt Lockhart, one of the FSSA leaders, earlier today. He said that ever since the arrests on Friday night, the FSSA has been deluged by letters from alumni and others. Matt is so behind with posting on the FSSA website. Keep those letters coming! One that I thought was very powerful was Jim MacFadden's open letter...

Is It Painful to Protest at Gallaudet University?
Kalalau's Korner Is It Painful to Protest at Gallaudet University?Is it painful to protest at Gallaudet University? I believe that is, but it is a pain we should not complain, a suffering we must learn to philosophize the more we engage in it. American society sets us up to be free of this necessary pain, so we need to turn against the oppression and question why it is practiced. It [...]
