The Agents of Colonization and their Byzantine power structure must be uprooted next. Otherwise they will grow back on our heads blocking any further progress. The Board respectfully asked the students to continue with 'cleaning up'. So why not do that?! The Board declared that the best interest of the school was the removal of the designate. Therefore whoever worked for the designate, often with undignified methods, worked against Gallaudet interest! Therefore, consequences are expected to take place. We have every reason to celebrate, but we need to keep in mind: the empowerment of the Deaf community at Gallaudet is not yet complete until reforms -- based on self-determination and cultural autonomy -- are not worked out and are not implemented. Only the success of reforms can crown our efforts with a sense of genuine achievement.
