Matt Daigle's latest Deaf e-cartoon regarding the upcoming Gallaudet University Presidential Search is truly dangerous and misconceptual about what the "Unity For Gallaudet" 2006 protest all about! http://www.mdaigletoons.com/blog/?p=171
Very appalling about someone like Matt Daigle, deaf cartoonist himself had such a misconception of what really happened and why the Gallaudet community rose in the protest by the first place. Occasionally enjoyed Daigle's deaf cartoons, but not at this time.
Still encountered the misleading perspective of "Unity for Gallaudet" protest almost everywhere I went! Few months ago, I ended up had a hearty discussion with the former Gallaudet student dropout from the 2000s few months ago that he was fully persuaded by the hearing peers about the Gallaudet community protested cuz of "Not Deaf Enough" reason. Total hogwash!
Matt Daigle ought to issue an apology to the Deaf America and admit that he have not been present at the "Unity for Gallaudet" protest to see all for himself, not thru the mainstream media bias. Ever the viewpoints within the hearing audists or ignorants for not being truly familar with the issues facing the Gallaudet community at large based on qualifications of selected candidates and creditability of the selection process itself.
At first, Daigle's cartoon on the upcoming Gallaudet University Presidential Search (GUPS) was kinda amusing. We know how powerful the misperceived image could greatly affect our community standing, especially deaf cartoonist like Matt Daigle. Total support for the greater freedom of expression and speech. We sometimes have to draw the line and make sure no everlasting aspect of misconception upon the present and future generation.
Please leave your comments to share your thoughts on Daigle's cartoon on the GUPS and let Matt Daigle know. Thanks.
