Hi DeafRead (DR) readers,
I am proudly introduce Danielle Reader to the new family member of the DeafRead. Some of you probably read her blog postings - "Thru Mother's Eyes". Danielle is very amazing and admirable parent of deaf son currently enrolled at the California School for the Deaf, Fremont, CA.
Danielle Reader is really one of the fine example within too many parents of deaf children being victimized by the myriads of systematic deceit and manipulation in regard to the educational opportunity for her own deaf son and other millions of deaf children. She is not just a "blip" into the cracks of systematic failures. Other million and million parents of deaf children going through very same "cycle of Machiavellian systematic games" in name of exploiting deaf children for just ungodly profits to fatten the very few people.
Just read Danielle's poignant letter to the radio station after hearing the radio interview with the opponents of AB 2072 - http://thruthismomseyes.blogspot.com/2010/05/oppose-ab-2072-kill-this-bill.html
Danielle Reader wrote another blog posting after she met Rep Tony Mendoz. She vividly described her encounter with Mendoz - http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/notes/julie-rems-smario/hearing-mother-of-deaf-boy-expresses-her-experience-with-tony-mendoza-author-of-/391061191777
You could find Danielle Reader and her son, Jaden on the Caliornia School for the Deaf (Fremont)'s web page -p. 8-10. She expressed her endless gratitude to the CSDF for saving her son from the educational and language development "failures" -http://www.csdf.k12.ca.us/outreach/pdf/parent-info.pdf
You will find Danielle's writing - "A Hearing Parent Speak Out" on the second entry-

An interesting note about the original location of the CSDF was in San Fransisco before moved to the Berkeley site.
Wow! Our Deaf History are full of surprises!
