DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - October 9, 2020
-- interruptions, arguments, yelling
The Preidential and the Vice Presidential
debates involved a lot of interruptions,
arguments and yelling. One thing went
wrong - deaf people knew nothing on what
was going on - for one reason - no
interpreters! Captions, yes, but again,
no interpreters. Whose fault - very
easy - the Commission on Presidential
Debates.
-- a big Netflix question
Deaf U is already a media sensation. Everyone
talks about it. This leads to a big Netflix
question - will there be a Deaf U Season 2?
Keep in mind Netflix, some years back, had
a history with the Deaf Community as this
media giant refused to caption their
videos. We had to force them to caption, under
the pain of a lawsuit.
-- a logo or a number code
A New Jersey legislator introduced a bill to
require state Motor Vehicle Commission to
affix either a logo or a number code to
indicate the drivers' deafness. This would
make it easier for police officers to deal
with the deaf. A logo or a number code? This
would be the choice of the deaf driver.
What is your choice?
