Congressman hires deaf interns!

There is deaf news where they give the news all around in the world for only deaf and hard of hearing to watch the video about the news they have up to date or read the update news they have. Today one of the news on deaf news has the title that stated “Congressman hires deaf interns” and that caught my attention because my belief is that all deaf or hard of hearing are equal to hearing people but sadly, often they are not recognized as much as the hearing people are in America especially when it come to important things such as career, politics and among others.

That is what makes me ill is that often a lot of people who think that deaf or hard of hearing people cannot do what the hearing people can do, that has been a heated debate going on for several decades. Same way as men vs women for driving, comparing their skills and such. Same concept as deaf/hard of hearing vs hearing which is quite unfair as it should be equally because only difference between deaf and hard of hearing vs hearing is that deaf and hard of hearing cannot hear, that is it as it does not change how their brain works because they do have same brain as the hearing people have and believe it or not the deaf or hard of hearing have more focus on things than hearing people does and if you do not believe me then feel free to do some research which I suggest you to do so as it is quite interesting.

Back on topic, on deaf news I stumbled upon a news video that a congressman named Steve Stockman and he is congressman in Texas. He ran for congressman three times, could not win until the third time which he won the vote to become the congressman and since he has won the election his goal for his office is to give deaf or hard of hearing a chance to have career in politic because he strongly believe in equality for deaf and hard of hearing and his goal is to bring in more deaf or hard of hearing to work under him, he recently hired 9 deaf interns to work under him and he stated that it is a blessing thing to have them to work for him because he wants deaf and hard of hearing to have a part in politic and in interview from deaf news he has stated that he is hoping that one day there is deaf president or at least deaf congressman. We need a congressman like him, because deaf and hard of hearing has much harder time to get a job than hearing people and people always think that they are above them which is absolutely untrue and if you think it is true then I suggest you to do study on that and you will get surprise result out of it.

Anyway, I wasn’t planning on to write this long because I only want to show the news video from deaf news but as I thought about this especially deaf and hard of hearing aren’t equally to hearing people.  There are subtitle/closed caption for you to read if you cannot understand the sign language. Enjoy the video!

Thank you,
