San Diego Deaf Community for FSSA

This blog is for all of you in the San Diego Deaf community to post your feelings, thoughts, and keep this community of ours united. It is our hope to elevate the Deaf community in San Diego to new heights.

10 October 2006

Welcome!

This blog is for all of us, the SD Deaf community. Now is the time to make a stand. We have to be of one vision, one ideal. Events this year have proved that not even the place we hold dear is safe. Our common ground is the fact that we are Deaf. Let us build on that and grow stronger as a group, community, and movement.

This is a starting point from where we can build.

    Pepe and George,

    Thank you! We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!

    Richard Roehm,

    Are you a deaf community advocate? I believe that if you are, your job entitles you to accept and support deaf people in all forms. Even the "old guard."

    Maybe a better approach would be educating the deaf community. Help the "old guard", the cochlear implanted people, and the stem cellers to co-exist? To get along? To build bridges?

    They are just a few suggestions. The old guard seems to care a lot and want to speak out.

    Please consider changing your approach.

    Thank you,
    Matt Ellis

    Richard-
    I hate to be blunt but you really are uneducated on the Deaf community. "New Guard" "Old Guard"? That is just a bunch of bull people like to make up to define divisions within the Deaf community. There isn't an old or new guard, I learned sign language later in life (Junior HS) and I went to Gallaudet and I work in an environment where I always use my voice and never use any interpreters so under your definitions I am considered new guard.. If that is true then let me just say that this new guard stuff is non existant.

    Jane is a bad leader. I have worked with her and she is a great person but her leadership especially the past week and a half have been extremely neglient towards all constituents within the Gallaudet body. She is on her way out and your theories are just silly. No wonder why there isn't a Deaf community in OC because you divide them with your definitions.

    -Pepe

    Awesome, glad to see this website.

    It's important to show our support for FSSA and students but at the same time it's also important for us to engage in respectful dialogue among ourselves about the future of the Deaf community and where we want to see 'us' as the Deaf community to be down the road.

    Cheers and looking forward to seeing this website to grow.

    Hope all goes per plan and get the chaos resettled and a new president chosen, should the current one resign.

    One suggestion - is it possible to have a forum here where people can post threads and make comments on each other's thread?

    There are some local Deaf issues I'd like to discuss but I cannot since I have no way of making an entry.
