-- health and safety reasons in job discrimination
You apply for a job. You put down "deaf" on the
job application form - and the human resources
office say they cannot hire you because of
health and safety reasons! This is what huamn
resources director told the deaf applicant
that the insurance company requires - health
and aafety. It is job application discrimination.

-- a worry by a deaf newsgroup
A long-existing deaf newsgroup on Yahoo posted
a concern - that despite wealth of deaf-related
information, no one reads it - despite a high
number of subscribers. This group has blamed
faat-changing internet for the readership and
response decline!
-- crooked deaf agency
The Kyrgyz Deaf Association in Kyrgyzstan was
given the responsibility by the government to
take care of 255 apartments for use by deaf
residents. When an apartment is vacant, the
agency is supposed to give it to the next
deaf person on the waiting list. This agency,
however, was not honest and gave the vacant
apartments to people not on the waiting
list! The government is not happy about it
and is investigating. Not known what the
punishment would be if the agency is found
guilty.
