Dear Angela,
I am a colleague of yours at the University and it was with great dismay that I heard the news that the University has reinstated to you to your position. The University is a chicken-shit organization for re-instating you, Angela. Your signing the petition against gay marriage shows that you are a bigoted, religious freak, out of touch with the majority of citizens in your state and in the country.
In fact, your signing the petition shows that you are just a stupid, ignorant nig*** b itch. There, Angela – how do you like being called names? You are a nig*** bitch. I said it again. By signing the petition showing that you are against marriage for a gay person such as myself you show your ignorance and stupidity. I frankly don’t care if it is your religious faith – your religious faith has NO business in politics.
You are not wanted here at the University, Angela – you should pack your bags and leave – why don’t you get a job working for some right-wing, anti-gay organization – you’d be much, much more comfortable in such a position. You performance here at the University, frankly, wasn’t that great anyway. Stupid nig*** – see, again, how does it feel? It hurts, doesn’t it? I hopes it hurts you as much as your position has hurt me.
When you see me smiling at you on campus you won’t know it was me who wrote the letter. But I’ll be there, watching you, you hypocrite.
Signed,
A former friendly colleague
I don't know the situation behind this letter or how the letter arrived, or whether there's any truth that the letter did in fact come from one of the teachers or professors at Gallaudet University since this "mystery colleague" signed the letter as "A former friendly colleague." Let's assume this letter did come from one of the staff members at Gallaudet University.
First off.
Whoever wrote this letter is a coward, possibly a racist, possibly against diversity, and certainly a person full of hate against Dr. McCaskill, That much is obvious. This "mystery colleague" is not the sole arbitrator deciding who is not worthy to stay at Gallaudet University. It's the tried and tired "agree with me or else" political correctness attitude just because somebody doesn't fit your own ideological purity test. It's people like "former friendly colleague" who gives Gallaudet University a bad name. A person who refuses to allow true diversity on campus. A person who twist the words of Dr. McCaskill. A letter that is perhaps just as bad as instigating a witch hunt against her in the name of political correctness. And yet this "former friendly colleague" forgot the fact that even those in the gay community supported Dr. McCaskill. She has not used hate words against people in that manner like "former friendly college" either directly or indirectly. There is no justification to write that letter in that manner.
And now you have this "mystery colleague" walking somewhere in the midst of the Gallaudet University campus. Each student will now sit down in class and wonder, "Is this the teacher who wrote that racist letter." Or perhaps a staff member will be thinking in the back of his or head while speaking to another staff member, "Could this be the letter writer?" A ghost walking amongst them.
Maybe teachers and professors at Gallaudet University ought to stand up and identify themselves and condemn that hate letter written.

The process of some gay people of attacking those who don't agree with them is an issue all over, Ridor led the way with the deaf ! Of course open racial bigotry is unacceptable. It is not unacceptable to oppose Gay marriage (unless hate is used). A right to agree/disagree is the USA constitution and in Europe via human rights, the fact remains the minority interest IS able to abuse the rights of others by default and by name calling, homophobic being the favourite term used at ANYONE who doesn't agree with that sector but it extends e.g. to religious groupings as well. The biggest debate here is equality, an inaccessible option, because you cannot make everyone equal unless you oppress someone else. Common sense is not an option many use first or last. I fear for some access campaigns they are racial motivated and discriminatory at base.
Ironic that "former friendly colleague" chose words of hate and bigotry while ranting against McCaskill's religion and color, when McCaskill herself has never stooped to that level either privately or publicly. Whatever happened to "diversity"?
Wonderful example for the gay deaf movement, huh? I'm aware that deaf ppl have had their share of being called names by homophobic critics, but stooping to the critics' level is not going to move their cause another inch.

Eh, typo correction-- "gay deaf ppl have had their share...".

With the gay movement on a roll, they are perhaps not feeling they have to be accommodating at all. Deaf areas do the same in part, the belief I HAVE THIS RIGHT is empowerment, forceful attacks that get personal or hateful expose the fact, no matter who you are we al have some issues to deal with, the view if you are deaf you don't is naive ! we have deaf groups here that are black only, asian only, etc meeting a need ? or, creating the divide ?
Wow! Now that so called colleague should be removed from the job. I interpret the letter as threatening. What a way to shame and degrade the university. This is far worse than McCaskill signing the petition. Pathetic.
