Many deaf people across America are very familiar about how the "California School for the Deaf of Berkeley" was legally stolen from the Deaf California. The state officials and University of California of Berkeley conspired to snatch the "extreme valuable"real estate from the Deaf California and deaf kids attended the Berkeley school campus thru false pretenses of being highly prone to earthquake(s). Those audists successfully did for the purpose of the University of Berkeley campus expansion thru the use of legal deceptions and fear tactics.
The "California School for the Deaf of Berkeley" (CSDB) survived the 1906 earthquake incident which left just left some minimal damages like the interior "pencil-like" cracks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_School_for_the_Blind#Berkeley_.281867-1980.29.The "unjustifiable" takeover of the real beautiful and majestic CSDB campus left the former CSDB graduates, former faculty members and staff personnel "emotionally and mentally violated". That still affect the present and future generation of deaf Californians which are much similar to the situation of U.S. Southwest and pre-California region also illegally snatched from the Mexicans.

Many CSDB graduates and faculty members had great memories of the exquisite city of Berkeley which were not likely offered at the relocation of CSDF (Fremont).

The future sale of WNCSD campus ought go to the untouched state account within future monetary resources for the deaf. No "buts:, "buts". Every school of the deaf properties are
belonged to the deaf taxpayers, not the audists' decision. Comprendo?

This article reminds me of Georgia School for the Deaf in Cave Spring, GA. Few years ago the State of Georgia want to sell the school, but the the Floyd county stopped the government. The land belongs to Floyd county. The buildings belong to State of Georgia.
ReplyDeleteHi Robert,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your compliment on the radio show (Transcript) on my blog. It was an honor and a mental growth experience to do this program over the past week.
I really like your post about the similarities between supporters of the California Coalition and those who support the Arizona law. We need to see our similarities and the ways we can work together in the face of rising right-wing corporate push back.
I'd really appreciate it if you'd mention my radio report on your blog and link to it.
