-- a ridiculous deaf lawsuit
There was a news posting of Starbucks suffering
through these ridiculous lawsuits. It mentioned
a group of 16 deaf patrons filing a discrimination
lawsuit; it explained that a deaf patron thought
she was being laughed by a Starbucks barista.
And that when the deaf person objected, the
employee went into her face, screaming
all these dirty words. And then she was
ordered to leave and to never come back.

-- 250 deaf people go on hunger strike
A large group of 250 deaf people in
India went on a hunger strike - protesting
lack of sign language communications
at a collegiate-level academic institution.
One protester said - We are not informed about
jobs, workshops and new courses. The hunger
strike ended when the institution director
promised to look into this matter. He had
previously avoided dealing with the deaf.
-- a comment on Certified Deaf Interpreters
An interpreter posted a comment on an
interpreting web site saying that Certified
Deaf Interpreters are very important. The
interpreter explained that while she is
fluent in ASL, it is not her primary
language nor did she grow up in Deaf
Culture. This is the reason for the
importance of deaf interpreters.
