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 agree @bigtom13
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 quo
