DeafDigest - 30 September 2021

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - September 30, 2021 -- watchdogs and the deaf Just about everyday we read of new ADA-related lawsuits filed by deaf litigants. One word caught the attention of DeafDigest editor - watchdogs. Do these watchdogs catch these ADA violations? Or does EEOC itself function as a watchdog on behalf of the deaf? DeafDigest editor does not know how this works.   -- fired for discovering that $200 million was missing In California, state auditor Alice Stebbins, not deaf and a career auditor and budget analyst, lost her job. She discovered that $200 million were missing. That money was for state’s Public Utility Commission, earmarked for deaf, blind and poor residents. She would have kept her job if she kept her mouth shut! Shame on California.   -- shouting no ears, or shouting me deaf A deaf man, stopped by police, shouted "no ears" in an effort to tell them he was deaf. "No ears" may mean he lacks real ears and the cops may think it is that way. Would it have helped if he shouted "me deaf" several times until the cops realize his actual deafness?   Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 09/26/21 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
