I wonder if they heard from any deaf people? Or if they just presumed that it would be better for them.
If I was deaf I would be seriously pissed if someone did something like this. I wouldn't want to live in a world that lowered the experience for others just to mollify me.
Ugggghhh. Too much, too often.
I'm sure there are some deaf people that supported and possibly championed this initiative, but I don't think anyone believes they speak for all the deaf students/teachers/workers there.
I'm sure this placed some unwanted/unneeded stress or attention on some people who were perfectly fine with status quoI agree @bigtom13
