DeafDigest - 26 January 2021

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - January 26, 2021 -- ears or eyes -- activist says sign language is not hobby -- Coda's reason for stopping the use of ASL A deaf person applied for a warehouse job and was rejected and as a result, filed a job discrimination lawsuit. What were the warehouse tasks the deaf person applied for? #1 - picking up a product that the customer ordered and placing it in a tote bag #2 - moving the products to a cart and pushing the buttom to take it to the dock to load up the delivery trucks. These simple tasks require eyes, not ears!   -- activist says sign language is not hobby An activist says sign language has become more popular, helped by visibility of interpreters during pandemic TV news coverages. Yet there are still some people that say that learning sign language is a hobby. This activist says hobby is the wrong word to describe sign language.   -- Coda's reason for stopping the use of ASL A Coda said he stopped using ASL while growing up, despite loving it and being fluent with it. Reason was peer pressure from friends and unwanted stares from strangers.   Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 01/24/21 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
