DeafDigest - 08 November 2019

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - November 8, 2019 -- importance of first responders in emergencies There was a story of a weather disaster that left the deaf abandoned for quite some time. The first responders arrived, "knocked" on the doors and left, thinking no one was there! Didn't happen in USA, but happened in Japan. Yes, the Japanese local government authorities weren't too happy about it.   -- refusing to show the presidential insult of Marlee Matlin Mark Burnett is a TV producer, who is supposedly close to the White House people, including the president. Yet, when Marlee Matlin was insulted by the president, producer Burnett refused to release the video that supposedly showed it! DeafDigest is not sure exactly what this means - either to protect the president from his uncalled for comment or to spare Marlee the undeserved humiliation.   -- to learn sign is to 100 percent accept the deaf An activist said that if all hearing people learn sign language they will 100 percent accept the deaf in all phases of everyday life. Really? What if the hearing person learns signs and still hates the deaf?     Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 11/03/19 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
