last sunday, as eric and i (in the company of "friends" dena and eric) were heading home from the national's baseball game, we passed gallaudet university, the only institution of higher learning for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. in case you haven't heard the news (this comment is by no means an indication that i question your intelligence; rather this is a crafty attempt to fill in my siblings who read my blog in lieu of reading the news), gallaudet students have been protesting the appointment of a new president for their school because, well ... she isn't deaf enough.

as a jewish latina female, i get discrimination. isn't it a little hypocritical for those often discriminated against to discriminate against someone for not being as discriminated against as she could be?

good going, dr. fernandes. way to have a husband and kids who can hear.

anyway, as we drove past the front yard of gallaudet, we saw the camps of protest set up. the security. the students. the signs. the largest of which read:

"honk if you like social justice."

ummm, isn't honking to show your support a little ironic?

but it is my job to like social justice. so we honked anyway.

and flashed our headlights too. just in case.
