Disheartening news- @BetsyDeVosED proposes $13M budget cut for Gallaudet. Who pays the price? Deaf, tax-paying citizens: who are already disadvantaged, underrepresented. With this, pathways to higher education+ careers are compromised. 1/2 NO to this: www2.ed.gov/about/overview/b…

“If deaf infants and toddlers are not provided their right to access to language early in life, then that language deprivation would affect their education, including health education, which then affects their health knowledge and literacy.“ -Peter Hauser monroecopost.com/news/201807…
