I am an Interpreting student. Recently, a petition was brought to my attention that had to do with a tutor I had last semester. What is the issue?
Well, he was forced to go to the School of Individualized Study to do the Interpreting program known as ASLIE. It is based on the fact that it isn't made for Deaf people. This is wrong. We have CDIs (Certified Deaf Interpreters) and Ronnie did the work.
But that's not what the petition is for. This petition is to support Ronnie because NTID (National Technical Institute for the Deaf) has refused to allow him to walk the stage with his hearing peers during graduation this year. That is a shame and is wrong.
If you can, please sign this petition so Ronnie can graduate with the team he worked with to get this far. He is the first Deaf person to complete this program or be in this program.
This is 2018. It's time for a change.
