Earlier I did a 3 part series about the Charles Wirick's case where rampant rumors and perhaps questionable actions by others resulted in the suspension of Charles Wirick. Read the three part series (Part 1, Part II - Rumors, and Part III - Ganged Up?) to understand what went on. There's a real possibility that Charles Wirick was a victim of on campus bullying of sorts.

If you go through Tom Bertling's "American Sign Language: Shattering the Myth" book you'll see that this problem is not new. And we will see more of these types of incidents as the new deaf generations are lured into Gallaudet.
Did you attend Gallaudet with him? If not, you really have NO idea what had been going on for the previous several years re: the kid's situation at Gallaudet - and you're really in no position to judge this matter from afar, simply based on your Google searching. Sorry.
OCDAC,
Don't care much for Tom.

Which is why I have all these questions in a recent blog about the whole affair. The BnB reporting doesn't help him at all except raise more questions. No judging except from what information I've gathered, the familiarity of Gallaudet, the students, and the general environment that favors those who are Deaf than not, I can see how in certain situations they would not favor Wirick very well. Then again, like I already said in my blog, "we still DO NOT have the whole story on this oversized drama coming mostly from one person and a BnB writer who did the story on Wirick."
