VIDEO: Deaf News: A psychologist is calling for signing to be available as a ‘foreign language’ option for hearing children.
LONDON --
Dr Jim Cromwell said that learning British Sign Language (BSL) would benefit all students’ education and make life easier for Deaf people, bringing ‘extraordinary’ benefits for those without hearing.
In an ‘ideal world’ BSL would form part of the National Curriculum and be a compulsory element in mainstream schools, he added.
“Bilingualism gives a huge advantage in terms of thinking skills,” said Dr Cromwell, a clinical psychologist at Exeter Deaf Academy.
Having a wider population of people with BSL would make life easier those without hearing, he said. More than 900,000 people in the UK are severely or profoundly Deaf, according to the charity, Action on Hearing Loss.
Dr Cromwell also believes that those of the country’s 45,000 Deaf children who are taught in mainstream schools are not receiving the education they deserve.
“There is not the right support for them,” he said.
“They are being helped by teaching assistants with Level 2 BSL – that’s less than an O Level.
“Schools are getting away with that. There is the attitude of ‘they (Deaf children) are not doing well, but they are disabled, aren’t they?’
“Relying on education through spoken (rather than signed) lessons is like trying to learn maths A Level in Russian. Lip reading is 40 per cent guess work.”
Dr Cromwell, who has BSL at Level 4 – equivalent to degree standard – is believed to be the only clinical psychologist on the staff of a UK specialist school.
While a Deaf child ‘can do everything except hear’ many came to the Exeter school with attachment disorder, language delay, and behavioural problems because of a lack of access to BSL.
“They fall behind in primary school and are regarded as ‘problem students’,” he said. “Not all of our students are like that by any means, but we get those.”
Linguistic deprivation was one of the consequences of deafness that often began in the home as 90 per cent of children who were born Deaf had Hearing parents.
“Some (parents) will have never met a Deaf person, have no BSL and struggle to know what to do,” he said.
Their children were then learning BSL from a parent who was also learning the signing language. That might lead to learning deals that could give rise to behavioural problems, said Dr Cromwell.
Further problems might arise at schools without teachers qualified in BSL at a high level.
Part of the problem was that BSL was seen by many as a ‘pidgin’ form of English, instead of a language that was ‘heir to a rich cultural landscape’.
Widespread learning and use of BSL would help address many of those problems leading to an extraordinary increase in the well-being of Deaf children, said Dr Cromwell. Source

VIDEO [CC] Deaf News: Deaf church treasurer, sex offender, charged with molesting disabled churchgoer in Kansas.
OVERLAND PARK, KS (KCTV) -- A Deaf church treasurer, who is a convicted sex offender, is in jail after he was accused of molesting a church goer who has disabilities.
Rodney Sexton is charged with aggravated sexual battery. He is accused of molesting a 31-year-old man, who is Deaf and functions like an 8 year old.
Sexton made his first court appearance on Monday. A judge set his bond at $100,000 cash only.
Sexton is treasurer at Deaf Liberty Baptist Church in Overland Park, Kansas. It's unclear if his convictions from the mid-1980s for sex crimes were known.
Sexton is on the roster to teach sign language at Maple Woods Community College in January and he has apparently taught at the Metropolitan Community College in the past, according to online records.
Because of the Christmas holiday, KCTV5 could not reach community college representatives for comment.
The mother of the 31-year-old victim is heartbroken and angry. She wants to know whether church leaders knew about Sexton's background.
"I think people knew," the mother said. "This should never happen to another family."
In the mid-1980s, Sexton faced six felony sex charges involving a child. He was convicted on two counts and served time in a Kansas prison. He is not listed on the Kansas Sex Offender Registry because his convictions occurred before 1994.
He was released from prison in 1989 and released from probation four years later.
The victim's mother said her son loves his church and trusted Sexton. She said Sexton pressured her son to keep the molestation secret.
"This shouldn't happen to anybody sitting in a church or at school. This needs to be stopped," the mother told KCTV5. "My boy deserves to be protected."
People with special needs are four times more likely to be abused because they often don't realize they are being abused or they cannot articulate about the abuse. Source

VIDEO [CC] - Watching this viral video of Deaf husband find out he's going to be a dad will melt you.
Get ready for your heart to turn into a puddle. Brittany LeBlanc Welch recently shared a video of her husband, David, who is Deaf, finding out that she's pregnant. Of all the pregnancy reveal videos I've ever seen, this one definitely ranks near the top in terms of sheer emotional impact.
Welch said she recorded the video back in October. "I was a few weeks pregnant and found out earlier that day," she said. Watch original video with closed captioning: https://youtu.be/lMqjpnre0U8
First, he opens up some rather puzzling gifts including a "Baby" Ruth bar and "Dad's" Old Fashioned Root Beer (get it?). Then at the very end, he gets two positive pregnancy tests. Make sure you have all the tissues handy because once you see his emotional reaction, you're going to need them. Source

VIDEO: Deaf News: This Deaf man recorded the heartwarming aftermath of himself saving a young deer from an icy death.
DULUTH, MN -- A Bambi must have had a guardian angel looking out for him (or her) this week, after having gotten itself stuck in some icy water. Luckily for the deer, a Good Samaritan just happened to be driving by when he spotted the deer and sprung into action. The above video was likewise taken by the Good Samaritan, who happens to be Deaf, explaining what happened, one-handed signing as he holds the camera with the other hand.
The rescue of ‘Miss Ice River. The rescue of ‘Miss Ice River’: Duluth man saves deer from frigid water - video of a Deaf man next to an exhausted, ice-covered deer he just rescued from a frigid river has been making the rounds on the Internet in recent days.
If you don’t understand sign language, a family friend of the man who posted the video to Reddit was helpfully able to translate:
I was driving along when I see this deer struggling to survive. I felt obligated to help her, so I pulled over, trekked through the woods, and crawled out onto the ice. I used a rope to pull her out. I am so glad she is safe. Now we need to find her mom.
[After he pets deer] I will call her Miss Ice River. She must be so cold. I am so happy that she survived. Farewell.
Unfortunately there were no further updates and it’s to be assumed that the man went on his way after rescuing the deer, but since deer are pretty resilient, we can only assume it went on to survive the ordeal. I’m not sure how many “lives” deer are supposed to have, but hopefully this one stays off the ice (and out of traffic) from now on. Source

VIDEO [CC] Donald Trump is 'The Grinch' in College Humor 'You're A Mean One, Mr. Trump' parody song with subtitles.
Donald Trump is The Grinch in this Seussian parody of the 2016 Republican frontrunner. But Mr. Trump remains the lead candidate in the Republican party in a campaign full of controversial and dangerous rhetoric, causing College Humor to take a shot at him with a new video comparing him to the iconic Christmas character, The Grinch. Warning: Video Contains Graphic Language.
"You're A Mean One, Mr. Trump" is animated in the style of the original film and plays on the classic tune, showing a furry grinched-out Trump killing mice, cutting the preamble of the Constitution up into a tie and dressing up as a Mexican immigrant to steal children's Christmas presents.
The video brings to light some of his most egregious acts from the year including his proposal to bar all Muslims from the United States, build a wall on the Mexican boarder paid for by the country itself and making fun of a disabled, New York Times Reporter.
In the video, the creators acknowledge that by making this video, they are actually giving more attention to his ideas and rhetoric, but unfortunately that's been a theme throughout the year in media. Still, College Humor seems to hope the video will serve as a fairly complete wrap-up of his headline grabbing campaign, one that does not at all paint him in a good light. Source ... Merry Christmas!

Deaf News: McDonald's charged by EEOC after canceling interview for Deaf job-seeker in the state of Missouri.
KANSAS CITY -- McDonald’s Corporation has been charged with disability discrimination by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for refusing to provide a sign language interpreter for a Deaf employee candidate.
Ricky Washington, who is Deaf, applied online for a job at a McDonald’s restaurant in Belton, Missouri, in June 2012. When the Belton restaurant manager learned Mr. Washington needed a sign language interpreter for his job interview, she canceled the interview and never rescheduled it, despite Mr. Washington’s sister volunteering to act as the interpreter, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said in a statement issued Monday.
Mr. Washington indicated on his application that he attended Kansas School for the Deaf and that he also had previous job experience working as a cook and clean-up team member at a McDonald's restaurant in Louisiana in 2009.
Restaurant management continued to interview and hire new workers after Mr. Washington made several attempts to schedule an interview, according to the agency.
After first attempting to reach a prelitigation settlement through its conciliation process, the EEOC charged Oak Brook, Illinois-based McDonald’s Corporation. and McDonald’s Restaurants of Missouri Inc. in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Missouri, with violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by refusing to accommodate and hire a Deaf applicant.
“Removing obstacles in the hiring process for people with disabilities is a national priority for EEOC,” said James R. Neely Jr., EEOC’s St. Louis district director. “All employers, but especially large ones, should join with the agency to make sure everyone has equal access to the employment process.”
The Belton restaurant where Mr. Washington applied for work is owned and operated by McDonald’s Corp., the statement said. Source

Deaf News: Although Noah Wimberly has proven himself to be a skillful waiter, he plans to retire soon from the food service industry.
LAFAYETTE, LA --
The News Star: Read on to learn more about his drive and the next adventure on the horizon. Those who work closest with Noah Wimberly at Social Southern Table & Bar say that he is highly competitive, able to communicate better than most and has more personality in his little finger than most people have in their entire bodies.
Customers of the Lafayette restaurant request Wimberly as their server more than any other. They say it is Wimberly’s attentive service that impresses them. It is his smile they remember long after the meal. They call him brave, an inspiration.
Although Wimberly was born Deaf, he sees nothing brave about working hard to earn money, attend college and achieve independence. He’s just living his life the best way he knows how.
Jody Ferguson, a partner of Social Southern Table & Bar and the former franchise owner for Acadiana’s Casa Ole locations, remembers well when his manager of the Opelousas Casa Ole location suggested Wimberly, now 28, try his hand at waiting tables.
He told Ferguson that Wimberly, who was about 19 at the time, had worked every other position beginning as a busboy and dishwasher and working his way up to a line cook and even temporary head chef. He first worked at the Lafayette location of Casa Ole, then helped to open the Opelousas location.
“I’ve got to be honest,” Ferguson said. “I was very hesitant. I was very nervous. I didn’t want to set him up for failure. I was nervous in how he would handle it and how others would respond to him.”
But Wimberly’s manager, Armando Perry, didn’t give up.
“I just believe there is nothing that Noah can’t do,” Perry said. “He’s one of those people that once he’s got something in his mind, he’s going to accomplish it. I was just certain that he would just get out there and do well. Oddly enough, I had no doubt that he would be a great server.” ... Read more at The News Star.

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf woman sues NYPD for denying sign language interpreter for nearly 24 hours after she was arrested, locked up.
NEW YORK CITY -- A Deaf woman who is also speech-impaired has sued the New York City Police Department for denying her a sign language interpreter for nearly 24 hours after she was arrested and locked up overnight, according to papers filed in Manhattan Federal Court.
Opal Gordon was arrested Sept. 21 as she left Manhattan Family Court for allegedly violating an order of protection. She was at court for a custody case about her daughter.
Gordon, of Manhattan, who is “profoundly Deaf and speech-impaired,” said cops didn’t tell her why she had been arrested nor did they provide her with an interpreter. They also didn’t read her Miranda rights, she said.
Police brought Gordon, 53, to the 45th Precinct stationhouse in the Bronx and held her there for two hours, she said. “The boss who runs the precinct signed to me and asked if I am Deaf. I said ‘Yes,’” she told the Daily News. But none of the officers called for a sign language interpreter or gave her anything that would help her communicate with them, she said.
“Not even a piece of paper,” Gordon added.
The officers brought her to a holding cell in Bronx Central Booking and she was held overnight, according to her lawsuit. Gordon claims she repeatedly tried to communicate her need for a sign language interpreter but was ignored.
“No one would listen to me,” she said.
It took the NYPD 21 hours to get a sign language interpreter to help Gordon, her lawsuit said.
The city’s Administration for Children’s Services visited Gordon’s home in October as part of its Manhattan Family Court case. Even though ACS knew Gordon was Deaf, the agency didn’t bring an interpreter upsetting Gordon because the visit, part of a court-ordered investigation, could affect her custody case.
“This is nothing new for the city,” said Gordon’s lawyers Eric Baum and Andrew Rozynski, who represent many Deaf clients.
Deaf Woman Sues NYPD For Wrongly Arrested
Their law firm said the NYPD has a 2009 consent decree with the Justice Department to improve its treatment of the Deaf community. But the city and the NYPD continue to violate the civil rights of Deaf people, according to the lawyers.
The city Law Department didn’t comment on the pending litigation. “We will review the suit and respond accordingly once we are served,” a spokesman said. Source

NEW YORK CITY -- A Deaf woman who is also speech-impaired has sued the New York City Police Department for denying her a sign language interpreter for nearly 24 hours after she was arrested and locked up overnight, according to papers filed in Manhattan Federal Court.
Opal Gordon was arrested Sept. 21 as she left Manhattan Family Court for allegedly violating an order of protection. She was at court for a custody case about her daughter.

Gordon, of Manhattan, who is “profoundly Deaf and speech-impaired,” said cops didn’t tell her why she had been arrested nor did they provide her with an interpreter. They also didn’t read her Miranda rights, she said.
Police brought Gordon, 53, to the 45th Precinct stationhouse in the Bronx and held her there for two hours, she said. “The boss who runs the precinct signed to me and asked if I am Deaf. I said ‘Yes,’” she told the Daily News. But none of the officers called for a sign language interpreter or gave her anything that would help her communicate with them, she said.
“Not even a piece of paper,” Gordon added.

ASL Version: TheHolism aka Barry Sewell claims the 'DeafVIDEO.TV' social networking is the hub of cyberbully and cyberstalking.
The video producer by theHolism also known as Barry Sewell posted on social networking for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. Barry Sewell's statement on YouTube, claiming Tayler Mayer, the owner of the DeafVIDEO.TV social networking website is the hub of bullying and stalking.
"I've been asked by some of my long time fans if I'd consider returning to the web site where I used to debate as a vlogger. My answer to that was no. I will not return to this web site because I, along with so many others, were bullied and stalked for our unique view on things. Many of us had to put up with stalking and bullying tactics for many years at this web site. It's been realized that the owner may have allowed them to happen towards those who did not share his view on things. So I say, thanks but no thanks. It's clear that critical thinkers were not welcomed. In short, I do not belong there. Many of us don't. Bullying or stalking is never okay. Thank you." Barry Sewell
