-- Deaf Harassment or Deaf Hate
It is a big issue among deaf activists in Great
Britain - that police officers do not understand
the difference between Deaf Harassment and Deaf Hate.
If it is Hate, it is a crime and subject to arrest,
but if it is Harrassment, it is not a crime!
-- Plasma job application discrimination case sent to jury
A while ago DeafDigest mentioned a deaf woman being
offered a job as a Plasma Technician and the job offer
being withdrawn when it was realized she was deaf.
She sued, but the employer won in district court.
She then appealed, and the decision is that this case
should go to jury. It has something to do with
deaf woman claiming blood plasma machines can be
outfitted with flashing signalers whereas the
employer disagreed! Anyway, the case is being
sent back to district court for the jury to decide.
