    My brother Thomas, who is deaf, called my attention to a particular bad budget cut being proposed in New York. In Mill Neck New York there is a family of organization including a school for the deaf and a school for special needs students like autistic students. These have been state funded and provided services for the deaf for over 100 years. Now Gov. Cuomo is planning to stop funding them and tell them to go to the school districts they serve for funds. Listen to the U-Tube please.

  3. the budget cut is for entire programfor low functional. Deaf school program has been miscategorized there. should have seperated completely from that. total 11 deaf schools in NY State. Really BIG CUTBACK. Force deaf school to seek from district to fund them. That is a very last minute or all or many school will have to shut down next year with no replacment funding. Cusmo doesnt undrestand that 11 deaf school really are highly beneficial to deaf chidlren. Many deaf alumni have good career after getting excellent education there

  4. Deaf children would not be able to get same education and District School has not had any preparation for unexpecting event ! Distrcit School are public school for hearing. They have to hire many intepreters in all statewide NY state. There will be a big short of good interpreters. Deaf would not be able to learn well there not as exactly same as deaf school would be able to do.

    Many deaf will feel isolated and will suffer from lack of social there Many hearing coaches refuse to let deaf players on teams. My deaf daughter had a potential and was the tallest and strongest player of the soccer team. Coach and i never got along on that !. I fought for my daugther.

  9. Yes, sending the deaf children to public school isn't very good, especially if they don't have special programs. And trying to make local school districts pay for this school on a contract basis won't work because local government is worse off than the state. Cut evenly on good programs if there is no other way, cut out outdated programs, cut optional programs, close tax loopholes. Add minor fees. Tax the rich. Sell unused government properties, but don't cut programs for the disadvantaged. Or here is an idea. Allow state governments a 20% deficit during recession years with a set number of years to pay it back.

Serenading the Donkey

Over the years I have had many times when I have had to call out others on their words, behavior, or attitudes on race, class or ethnicity and I have used a variety of means to get my point across.  The first  such incident was when I was 13 years old and my sister and a friend were skipping rope to the rope song that uses the "N_" word.   I said we don't use that word in this place and the girls argued with me about it. I just said that if they used that word I would go tell Grandpa, and they complied.  In a high school the teacher had let the discussion degenerate and the topic of "welfare" came up and a girl stated  an old stereotype that my Daddy says "All the blacks go pick up their welfare checks in Cadillacs."  I wanted that direction of the conversation to end immediately, so I blurted out "Well your Daddy is a racist."  There was silence in the room for a couple of minutes and then the teacher changed the subject.  When people have b
 Striking at Bourgeois Values with "Free Stuff"  Why is it that in middle class neighborhoods no one would think anything of it if you are having a "yard sale"  or a "moving sale", spending your entire day selling your possessions at pennies on the dollar, a tenth of what you could get on E-Bay, making less than the federal minimum wage for your efforts, but they would shrink in horror from a "free stuff pile".  What is the world coming from that  they place so little value on material possessions that they would give it away for nothing.  Someone will surely complain that you are doing "illegal dumping", even if you tend the pile and fold things back up.  Fortunately for me, I live in a neighborhood with a heavy student population, north of Seattle's University of Washington campus, and such a pile is welcome.  Having purged the house of unneeded things that aren't worth my time trying to sell (unlike my art, which I will find
