Deaf Journey: Bahl, Wright, Gallaudet, DBC, MSSD, Canada, OSD, FSDB, SWCID
Reviewing what I covered last year, I was staggered by the sheer volume of the blogs produced, especially in the first half of the year. I eventually gave up adding topics after a while, so this list will suffice for now. Overall, this should give you a better idea what topics were explored. Covering the trial of Wright and Bahl was educational and sobering, exposing the deep flaw of the judicial system supposedly protecting the rights of the Deaf people. We witnessed the gradual healing of Gallaudet and its accreditation lifted from its probatory status. Sensitive topics were explored, like oralism and child abuse, the legacy of AGB, and racism at MSSD. Protests at Oregon School for the Deaf , Canada AVT Programs, and SWCID affirming the civil rights of Deaf were included. Being a blogger had been an extremely rewarding experiencing, with many opportunities to meet people, provide social changes, and forming valuable friendships.
With the new year of 2008, more likely the hot topics will continue to include Deafhood, Deaf Unity, Deficit thinking and self empowerment

Hi there. It’s interesting to look over the headlines you wrote about. Filled with legalities and politics. This is definitely your area. You are like the newscaster of DeafRead. Ha.
You are one of my favorites as well! Going to the v/blog awards? Would love to meet you in person.

Keep it going! Looking forward to more of your writings this year.
January 2nd, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Elizabeth,
You so richly deserve the crown as THE NEWSCASTER
of 2007. Your quality in your blog was high and
professional. You responded commenters with input or feedback endlessly and tirelessly.
January 2nd, 2008 at 11:40 pm
Cool! A lot of writings you have completed so far!
January 3rd, 2008 at 10:07 am
Hi, MZ,
OH, my goodness!! There are so many articles that I OVERLOOKED! Wow, where have I been?? I guess I started to read yours when Bahl got problem with cops. Yes, you are one of my favortie blogs!! Love ya!!

wow! and so true to your adherence to the issue of “civil rights” of Deaf people. It’s good to see in hindsight the strengths of each Deaf individual that I have been fortunate to know (and to realize there are more that I haven’t met yet)–v/blogger, activist, advocate, dreamer, artist making a lot of difference in the Deaf world.
Thank you for all you have done for Deaf civilians.
January 4th, 2008 at 9:51 am
I’ll add my two cents:
I, too, want to congratulate you, Elizabeth.
You are one of the few bloggers who do “get it”.
You do your research BEFORE you say anything-and as a result, you have been consistently correct on many of your positions-unlike a lot of other bloggers who have made a lot of crazy, off the wall statements.
I, too, hope to meet you some day.
