Gallaudet's DPN Protest in 1988

[justine0213]

Why does it always have to be an argument about who is better or more intelligent? That's not what this video is about. Yes, the Deaf community has and still does suffer. They are ignored, berated, misunderstood, and underestimated. But that does not make them better than anyone else. Just as being hearing doesn't make you better than anyone. Discriminating against a group of people just as you are discriminated against makes you no better than the rest of them.

@justine0213 amen

Ugh, this is pretty fuckin' boring. Put on some explosions, would ya?

[RAPHAELTHEFIRST]

Omg wow can't believe you would say that. YOu should go and look in detail what Deaf people have to go through, to get justice in the hearing world. Deaf people are the most intelligent people in society, they have to go through discrimination every day. So yeah, explosions really? wow...

[Salty5ailor]

i thought scientists and philosophers were the most intelligent.

also; kabooooom

[generalsamfisher]

That's not fair to people who were born as normal people. How dare you say those things about normal people, insinuating that they are any less intelligent than deaf people.

[lostabyss]

heh. im doing a project on famous deaf people right now! me and my friends are doing greg, bridgetta, jerry, and tim. the student leaders. im makin a music video (somewhat montage) of them and the protest to spice up our presentation.

The point of this video is...

Ex-President IJK was angry at the BoT (Board of Trust) back then in 1988 for what they did to the students.

As for 2006, when JKF (Jane K Fernandes) was appointed and in the process of joining in the transition to be Gally's President, IKJ was completed fine with it and IGNORED students.

That does not make any sense.

AND, there is another video on this account and it seems not to be working.. Urghh

[urjokingme]

Exacly! What a hypocrite!  This is how he repays the students by siccing the police on them this time and arresting them. They students were right in standing up for themselves! Way to go, Gally!!

[alcashin]

I was involved with DPN in 1988 while I was student at Gally. I never forget myself there. It was wonderful experience. AC (Class of 1991)
