MSD Yearbook Dedicated to Jeff White

In Frederick, Maryland - Maryland School for the Deaf's yearbook, Cornerstone, has announced that this year's edition is dedicated to Jeff White, a teacher of the Deaf at MSD. 

Jeff White has a long history of engaging in abusive and racial behavior at MSD, at Gallaudet and beyond.  He was also featured in Kappa Gamma's infamous photograph engaging in the nazi salute back in 1989.

Is anyone ever surprised with this decision by folks at MSD in Frederick?

Disgusting AF

Mark Pyeatt

 A former student at Kentucky School for the Deaf, now a student at Gallaudet University - Bethany Nymo-Yance used to intern at the office of that ugly fella, Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY).  I also learned that Gallaudet University President Bobbi Cordano is very close with Mitch's wife, Elaine.  

Bobbi also is very close with Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) - My source said that the rumors has that Cordano is close with Paul primarily because Paul has a nephew who was a student at Gallaudet between 2017 to 2019.  He is currently teaching ASL at a high school in Texas. Rand Paul's nephew's name is Mark Pyeatt.

Paul and McConnell has been fervert supporters of racist, transphobic, homophobic and xenophobic Donald Trump from day one.  

This made me wonder whether if Bobby Cordano's efforts to eradicate the systemic racism at Gallaudet University was just a fake front/show to cover her track record of being cozy with dangerous leaders like Paul and McConnell. 

Disgusting.  Shame on you, Bethany Yance.  Shame on you, Bobbi Cordano.

All the more reasons not to support or donate $ to Gallaudet University until the community realize that Bobbi Cordano is not the leader we need at this time.

How Can You Be So Stupid?

 I'm a resident of Idaho.  I'm so embarrassed of how we conduct this country.  I fear that many nations will finally stand up and rip my country apart and I'll be OK with it.  For a long time, we harbor racists, this time ... NO MORE!

Fuck The Police

 Yes, you saw this from me. I'm OK with it. 

For more than 100 years, the LGBTs has been the target of Police Departments in everything from entrapments to humiliations. They were the ones who lured men at the parks, they were the ones who raided the gay bars, they were the ones who went after transgender prostitutes on the streets, they were the ones who turned their cheeks when straight people attacked us outright.

When we fought for our rights to live our lives and host our businesses, events and all that stuff - the society started to accept us for who we are. Suddenly, we have these police departments wanting to sign up for our events, festivals, parades and all that shit. 

How do you truly think we are going to react like that?

They have yet to apologize for what they did to thousands of gay men in the last 100 years. They have no remorse nor empathy for what they did in the past.  Why do you think the Stonewall Inn riots started?  It started when the NYPD staged a fucking raid on the gay bar!

So today, the LGBT organizations decided to reject the police departments from being part of their festivals/parades in solidarity with the BLM and others, I'm all for it.

Police Officers are not heroes, they are just ... public servants. And they have yet to apologize for their sins.

I Support France

 If I want to draw or post a cartoon of Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammad, it is none of your business. 

For your information, I'm Deist. Do some research.  People who got offended by the cartoons need to perish from this planet because we have better things than to deal with them. People in filthy countries has been protesting over the people who drew the cartoons in France.  

They kept on ignoring the fact that France is a secular state.  Muslims need to get the fuck out of France or Western Civilization if they can't handle the free speech.

A Great Darkness Is Coming

 

For a long time, I had been reading and talking with many Deaf individuals throughout the country. Many are not able to have a critical thinking about various things in life and beyond. Because their language was deprived or delayed when they were kids, it may not be their fault. But nevertheless it does not look good for our community at large. 

After seeing the comments left by many others at Facebook Live's The Mavrick Fisher Murder Trial hosted by The Daily Moth and DPAN.TV, I'm disheartened at how horrible the comments were made by Deaf people from all walks of life - from teens to elders. It tells me of a bad omen for our community in the next 50 years. 

As far as I am concerned, Deaf Community is going to face a great darkness and it will mean one thing:  The eradication of Deaf Community, Deaf Culture and yes, sign languages is going to happen no matter how hard you fight. 

Why is that?  It is important to evaluate how Deaf people deals with each other - we simply don't have many great Deaf teachers out there. And it hurts. Many Deaf schools pushed Deaf teachers out and hire these appalling hearing teachers who thinks they're all that shit when they are not. Many Deaf schools will hire Deaf teachers who will not speak their minds to address the issues that may plague the system and so on. 

So yeah, you guys are finished. You won't win this war.

Allegations about VMI's Conduct May Be True

 The Washington Post had an article that focused on Virginia Military Institute's institutional racism especially on African Americans. It was reported that some filed complaints only to see lack of action to discipline or expel the students or staff who had done the acts of racism. This prompted the Virginia Governor Ralph Northam to issue an order to open the investigation on VMI. The President of VMI"s Board of Visitors denied that there is systemic racism.

VMI basically glorified Confederate Stonewall Jackson claiming that they honored him because he's "staunch Christian" and "military genius" - if he was military genius, then how come did he die during the battlefield and his Confederate Army was routed by the Union Army?

For a long time, I always regard VMI as high class school. In fact, dozens of my close friends knew that if I was hearing, I would end up going to VMI. 

Which was the reason on why I was thrilled to learn of my good, Deaf friend who announced on Facebook that her CODA daughter was accepted at VMI last spring and her CODA daughter went to VMI last August.  

After staying for six days at VMI during the Hell Week, her CODA daughter left VMI and declined to talk about her experiences at VMI. She has decided to attend James Madison University (JMU) instead. I was surprised and bit confused. I thought VMI has opened its doors to female students. 

For about two weeks after she abruptly left VMI, she started to talk about what's going on. She was quite humiliated and terrified of several incidents that happened during the Hell Week.  She went on to tell one incident with her Deaf mother who was stunned and furious about it enough for her to tell me the story.

Each female freshman is required to take a shower for only one minute (60 seconds) in a hurry. But it was never 60 seconds, it was always 35-40 seconds before a female upperclassman opened the door with half-dozen of male upperclassmen standing behind her looking at women taking showers and yelling insults and obscenities at her and other female freshmen in the shower area. That is sexual harassment, folks. 

Her CODA daughter said that it was pretty much acceptable behavior at VMI, even the staff knew about it. She can't handle it so she left after six days. 

Oh, VMI claims to be a staunch Christian military school?  Really?

Cheers,
