This gets more interesting. I just got word that the sources of these rumors could be Gallaudet related as theyre jealous because their reputation is damaged by the protests.
I also checked with MSA and find that's its their evaluation time.
And this could be the beginning of a Gally vs NTID flame war.

Who cares about that crap? At least I know for sure that I don't.
Those students need to learn how to socialize better with the hearing community and not exclude themselves from it. Suppose they did graduate from college and go off to find a real job that suits their interests/majors. There has to be *some* people (co-workers, for instance) from the hearing community that the deafies must learn how to interact with.
Plus, one thing that really bugs me is how the deafies typically use their own deafness as an excuse to not interact with the hearing community. They have this all-high-and-mighty attitude about how they know this ASL crap. Well, they might know ASL, but their English and grammar skills suck as well. Same idea goes for the hearing community; they might know how to speak English, but they suck at ASL unless they work hard to learn how to sign. One skill goes over the other, and unless you work hard to improve that other skill, then your two skills might balance at the equilibrium (that term is related to economics, but you know what I mean).
The problem I see is that the deafies tend to be narrow-minded about all that ASL crap. If they even *try* to be open-minded for once (and twice, thrice, and as many times as possible would be nicer!) then they would realize the potential they have with the hearies, like meeting them, falling in love and getting them to learn ASL--not in a coercing (means forcing) way.
