Oct 12. Jordan on NPR Please Call NPR During Show

I don’t know what time this will be held. Also the phone number so I can post it.  We need to confront Jordan regarding his lies to the media about Fernandes ‘Not Deaf Enough’, Gally Students not injured, and Mace not used. The world needs to hear the TRUTH.

October 12, 2006  NPR Program Featuring I. King Jordan on Web with Captions
National Public Radio’s Talk of the Nation will feature I. King Jordan in a special 2 hour broadcast on the future of deaf education and culture on Thursday October 12, 2006. Dr. Jordan plans to retire at the end of this year as president of Gallaudet University, the world’s only university dedicated to deaf and hearing impaired students. As the first ever deaf president of the institution, he began the job in 1988 amid controversy and leaves 18 years later in the midst of more controversy over the appointment of his successor. In Hour One of the broadcast, Dr. Jordan weighs in on the debate and his legacy. Hour Two will examine the shifting debate over the cochlear implant. Once an issue that divided the deaf community, the use of cochlear implants is now more accepted. Yet, very difficult questions remain about how people with cochlear implants can successfully live in two worlds – the hearing and the deaf – about how children with these implants should be educated. Guests during this hour will include documentary filmmaker Josh Aronson, whose film “Sound and Fury” tells the story two brothers split apart by their different approaches to the implants for their children. Mr. Aronson has recently completed a follow-up to his film, “Sound and Fury: Six Years Later” and will join the program with Peter and Heather Artinian who were featured in both films. The deaf and hearing impaired community will be able to follow in real-time Dr. Jordan’s discussion with Talk of the Nation host Neal Conan through live captioning on www.NPR.org . The captioning technology enabling the streaming of broadcast captions on the Web is developed and provided by the Media Access Group at WGBH Boston. Those tuning in to the program through the live caption stream will also be able to email questions to Dr. Jordan over the course of the hour.
