JACKSONVILLE, IL - Change.org: A letter was sent to Illinois Secretary of Education Beth Purvis, with copies to Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner, Department of Human Services Director Kris Smith, Illinois School for the Deaf Advisory Council (ISDAC), Illinois School for the Deaf Alumni Association (ISDAA), Illinois Association of the Deaf (IADD), and several legislators about Illinois School for the Deaf (ISD) issues.Your support in signing the petition will send a strong message to ISD to stop Cued Speech and Audism make important changes and to listen to Deaf children and parents. Sign up petition HERE.
Alumni of Illinois School for the Deaf, along with the Deaf community in the State of Illinois, would like to express our concerns with Illinois School for the Deaf (ISD) administrators and hearing faculties’ oppression towards Deaf Educators and other employees at ISD. Deaf employees of ISD experienced tremendous Discrimination and Oppression by hearing administrators and faculty over the years.
More than five families with multiple Deaf children left ISD because their parents were concerned about the well-being of their children and their success in education. The environment on ISD campus is not healthy nor is it a positive experience for Deaf students due to obvious discrimination and oppression of Deaf employees.
