NTID ponders to remove the name of AGB from the campus
Quote:
NTID Community:
As you may know, there have been a considerable number of concerns expressed by members of the RIT/NTID community about the name of the Alexander G. Bell Hall and commemorative plaque honoring Bell posted in the foyer of the building. It is argued by many that a number of attitudes, opinions, and actions that Alexander G. Bell promoted during his lifetime are not supportive of the diversity of people who are deaf, and therefore do not represent NTID.

Above letter was issued to NTID community. I am in favor to re change the name bec AGB did not support the diversities of communication forms. Instead AGB promoted the oralism as the absolute method for the deaf and he declared deafness to be defective. AGB believed in Eugenics. So I hope NTID committee will vote to remove AGB and renamed to other person (the rumor says it may be Davlia) .
What s your take on this situation? I m curious.
