Scandal Brewing at SCSDB? Deaf in Olympics
Board of school for deaf, blind decides to replace president The President, Pamela Shaw, hired merely seven months ago, had tendered her resignation abruptly, allegedly under pressure. Her last day at work will be on Aug 29. The state is now investigating the state school for the deaf and blind for criminal allegations, something Shaw claims ignorance.

Remember one dorm was entered by a gun-wielding assailant last March? Fortunately nobody, including the sleeping students, were harmed in that incident. Our vlogger shared about his experience that night. Last January, a 21 years old male student admitted committing a sexual assault on another 21 years old male student.
I don’t know what’s going on other than what the media had been reporting, but it doesn’t look good. Anytime a state employee had committed a felony, if any, the Deaf and Blind students pay for it. But, at least, the state is investigating this actively, rather than having whatever was done buried under the carpet.
A while ago, I was informed that there was an oral hard of hearing diver participating in the Olympics. Now a profoundly deaf competitor had also entered the Olympics: Competing in silence: deaf BMX cyclist fulfils Olympic dream (Feature)

Many state agencies don’t care — just sweep and bury under the carpet.
A Deaf BMX cyclist? I didn’t know that. I watched it last night. It was awesome. I went for a bike ride this afternoon. Thinking of the bikers how strong they are!

I didn’t see that part in the Olympics. There is a homeschooled deaf girl (from FSDB) who is a promising BMX cyclist. She is competing at a national level.
