The Deaf of Louisiana will finally be respected as equals under a new law, HB253, now being considered in the state legislature, changing the terminology in its records, striking out the "hearing-impaired" mislabels and replacing them with the proper "Deaf." Republicans probably would oppose the bill if they think that we going to waste years and millions of taxpayers money sitting around correcting thousands of thousands of obsolete documents. I hope they hire Deaf clerks to take on the task of updating those documents.
