2nd Day
Gallaudet University is closed for the 2nd day.
Last night, Dr. I. King Jordan issued a statement and tried to used scare tactics by threatening students that they will be arrested.
According to one blog, IKJ has ordered the cafeteria closed. Hmmm, an act of desperation?
**********
I must mention about Allison Kaftan. She has written one of the best postings I've read in DeafDC.com, especially in regards to the Gallaudet protest. Do yourself a favor and check it out!
Worlds Apart: Divergences in Perspectives on the Protest

Yesterday, the Federal Appeals Court ruled that the UPS was in violation of anti-discrimination laws when they banned the Deaf to be delivery truck drivers. This class action suit is a victory for the 1,000 Deaf who could have been drivers.
UPS plans to appeal.
