um, this is not the conversation about gun control that we were hoping to have as a country.

As a deaf person... my first reaction was (and still is) WTF? Common sense has gone extinct, hasn't it? Just...IDEK anymore.

mte. My friend is deaf and is teaching me how to sign and just taught me the alphabet yesterday. I can't even with people anymore.

I know, right?! So, are they going to just skip over the number "21"?!!? Stop using the letter "L"??? Are all the hearing people going to not use words that have the sound of the word "gun" in them?

The stupid in this is ENDLESS!

In a word, YES.

Funny, I've never seen a gun that had a corkscrew barrel, you idiots!

soooooo is this some kind of subtle thing going on here where the school is trying to passive-aggressively pressure the parents of this kid to enroll him in a school elsewhere because he's deaf and they don't want to deal with it, or is there something else going on here? because the argument that the kids name hand sign is too similar to a gun and violates their anti-gun policy is just too fucking ridiculous for real life, tbh.

[crossfire]

I had the exact same suspicion.

[twowaymirrrors]
