To my fellow brothers and sisters in our fight against audism-
Seriously- it’s time to demand Jordan to resign too. He is no longer… Qualified to hold the position of president of Gallaudet… Well, he never was in the first place.
I think that it’s time to ridicule Jordan. At this moment, Jordan is as bad as Fernandes, if not, worse.
If Jordan is going to order arrests… Then the protestors needs to respond to this. Non-violently, of course. They need to IMMEDIATELY charge Jordan himself personally for the things that he has ordered- the “earth juice”, the DPS assaults, and so forth. He needs to BE CHARGED with a CRIME!
So, someone, press charges against Jordan and Gallaudet! Come on.
I’m rooting for you guys, all the way! UNITY FOR GALLAUDET!
If this shit goes on, my wife and I will take a few sick days at work and be coming up ourselves from New York State to support you guys! Let more Deafies come in droves!
Chant “FUCK YOU Audists!”, “FUCK YOU, Audists!”, etc etc.
Let’s start that at Gallaudet? If this was made clear- that audism was a central theme to everything, it’ll explain the diversity of protestors’ complaints. It all boils down to audism. Let’s bring that to the front lines… So, that the public can UNDERSTAND… That if they are supporting the administration, they are also supporting and taking part in audism.
Say “NO to AUDISM!”
