A Deaf person applies for a job opening teaching ASL at the local college. After numerous attempts to communicate and set up interviews, the Deaf person is following the hiring process and feeling hopeful. The school decides to hire a hearing person for the job and tells the Deaf person they are not qualified.
I don’t care how much that hearing person has studied ASL, the Deaf will always be more qualified to teach ASL. It’s the real deal! Isn’t that why people learn ASL in the first place, to communicate with DEAF folks!?
