Ask NAD President to resign for WHAT?

This is a response to Aidan Mack about her statement on current NAD President, Bobbie Beth Scoggins, in her recent vlog. Barb DiGi shares her point of view on ways to approach when inquiring about a subject rather than attacking a President. In addition, she traces how deaf people perceived the idea for a deaf female NAD President holding office back to the post-World-War I era. Thomas O. Gray who wrote the article, "Windy City Observations" in Silent Worker dated 1926, stated his thoughts about having a female NAD president also another writer known as "Dixie" from The Journal offered a contrasting view.


Please note: Libby Pollard was also a female NAD president who did an outstanding job as well.

A small historic note about females be allowed to vote. It was deaf Flournoy, who advocated to establish a Deaf Commonwealth, called Gesturia, in the West in the 1850's. In one article, he said in Gesturia women would be allowed to vote. Long time before the women suffragette movement!

Re: Hearing loss: Are we looking for hearing? Is our life's destiny to find hearing?

I think, NAD do not need to use those words, yet respect someone else using them, like it's OK for deafened people to use them.
