DeafDigest - 04 March 2019

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - March 4, 2019 -- agencies say they don't discriminate, but they do No government agency would admit they discriminate even when they do. A deaf person resigned from his job with a government agency. The agency director jumped high with joy. Reason - saving the agency money in interpreting costs. Discrimination? Yes.   -- always scary A deaf man was seated in a railroad seat. A hearing person stood up and shouted abusive comments, unaware that the person in front of him was deaf. By luck, the deaf person turned around and saw him ready to get into a fight. The deaf person easily overwhelmed the abusive person. Police came and the abusive person was arrested. Scary? Yes, as it could happen to any of us. In other words, try to always watch your back.   -- discrimination lawsuits said to be useless Discrimination lawsuits useless? Deaf people win, but does it change things. No, discrimination continues. This is what an advocate said.     Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 03/03/19 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
