-- the deaf son of the Abu Dhabi prince
Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan is the crown prince of Abu Dhabi.
This nation is part of the United Arab Emirates empire. He is
a politically powerful person and is married to Shaikha Salama
bint Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Nahyan. One of their children is
deaf. The deaf son's first name is spelled something like
Sharoo. DeafDigest wonders if the crown prince is sensitive
to the needs of the deaf because of his deaf son, Sharoo?
-- a junior college says medical labs are dangerous for the deaf!
We have many, many deaf individuals employed in medical, biological
and chemical labs. Gallaudet and NTID, for years, have trained their
deaf students for jobs in these labs. Well, the Community College
of Baltimore County (Maryland) refused to allow a deaf student to
enroll in a lab class, saying it is not safe for her! She filed
a lawsuit and won!
-- a famous deaf priest kicked out of airplane
Father Cyril Axelrod, a well known South African deaf-blind
priest who has traveled everywhere in the world with no
problems, was not allowed to board a plane in South
Africa! Even though his travel agent has always informed
the airlines of his blindness, the British Airways flight
staff still would not allow him to board! Why was he
not allowed, the British Airways would not provide an
asnwer.
