Not "ASL enough"? and "Spoiled Morons"

Is the real issue that Dr. Jane K. Fernandes is "not ASL enough" despite that JKF's full intention to increase recognition of ASL as a full language? Can't help but wonder with all the hyperboles flying around against her and the Admininstration making it sound worse than it's not.

In other news, looks like the outside is not very supportive of what's going on inside on the campus of Gallaudet University in WTOP's comment area with their story today "Incoming Gallaudet President Offers to Meet With Students." Looking at the comments so far, they don't bode well for protesters with people thinking they're a bunch of "spoiled morons."


From what I read there is no leadership @ this University. These spoiled morons closing down the campus so nobody gets a education is appaling. Where is the leadership??? This bunch of malcontents and some teachers should be arrested and thrown out along with the teachers that supported them. THAT'S LEADERSHIP.!!!So much for our tax money being wasted on people that think they run the school, not go to it.

And


Basically, a few loudmouth punks are trying to bully the entire school into submission.As for ineffective actions on the part of the current Administration - you are right. They should have ordered the protesters to disperse and arrested and suspended or expelled those that disobeyed the order several days ago. I guess this is just another example of politically-correct, bleeding heart, molly-coddyling taken to the extreme...

and that's just a start. Check them out. Isn't this what the FSSA wanted to avoid in the first place? But they didn't exactly speak up at first, did they?

UPDATE: Just a note, folks, be sure to visit the comment site which I suspect are mostly hearing people who are commenting from a very different perspective about Gallaudet and deaf/hh people there. In other words, very damaging in the eyes of those outside of Gallaudet.

As always, name calling isn't the answer (see above in red). My apologies for not making it clear. I've highlighted the original source of the name calling. It is without a doubt unacceptable.
