Not Acceptable! When Protesters Terrorize other Deaf People

Jane Norman, a professor in the communication studies department at Gallaudet University had this to say on what is not acceptable at a protest of which she does not support:

I just came from witnessing a terrorized student who broke down, crying. Someone did not let her off campus and was trying to force her to sign a paper. She did not want any part of it and was being pressured. All she wanted was to go off campus. She has the right to leave campus. This was a student of color, an international student. This is not acceptable.

.

Utilizing terror tactics is self-defeating; they do not encourage communication. These tactics promote fear and misunderstanding and fuels oppression. There is a line. It is being crossed. It is not acceptable.

.

A hearing mother brought her deaf child on campus yesterday. The child was terrified seeing all the angry faces and started crying and could not be pacified. This is not acceptable.

.

I was just shown a TTY paper. A deaf person called and asked, is Fernandes a Latino name? I have experience with Latino people and do not want them on campus. Keep them off. This is not acceptable.

Read the rest of it. Good going Dr. Norman. Will the RDPN leaders condemn these terror and racist attitudes?

Not acceptable!
