DEAF AVOIDS FAST FOOD PLACES

A deaf person avoids fast food places. He is

tired of immigrant sandwich makers asking him

“do you want ketchup” or “do you want salt” or

“what bread do you want”, etc.

Hard to read immigrants’ lips. This is why

the deaf person prefers to eat at sit down

restaurants where he can just point to the menu.

HEARING STUDENTS WANT ASL BUT DON’T WANT TO TAKE CLASSES

At one hearing college, there was a petition to

start new ASL class for foreign language credit.

Many students signed the petition. The college

administration agreed to set up a new ASL class.

But this ASL class was cancelled. Why? Only

five students signed up for that class!
