Management by Intimidation at RSD

To the community of RSD who care about this deaf school.

The protest at Gallaudet University did open our eyes to our problem with RSD. There are so many blogs on the internet to discuss the deep problems they have with Gallaudet University. Many of us are paying attention to this news reporting by the deaf bloggers on the new site, www.deafread.com. The deaf community in the world is evolving and finally takes charge of their own fates. We easily agreed that we, the deaf community, have been oppressed and being ridiculed for a long time. We are also struggling to be accepted as the deaf person and our native language, ASL. We noticed the same pattern we are experienced at RSD. It is amazing that we have the same problem like Gallaudet University.

We were so frustrated and finally vented it on our RSDBLOG last spring. After reviewing the comments, we noticed that we have the problem with the administration. It is Management by Intimidation (MBI) and Apparatus of Oppression (AOP). You should know about this because we already discussed the problems we had with RSD at the town hall meetings last spring.

Recommend to read a professor Robert Johnson’s 17 pages letter.
