I'm assuming these striking students and faculty are liberals, simply because they're so stupid. But have they crossed over the line into bigotry?WASHINGTON (AP) -- At least two dozen people were arrested Friday night as students continued to block the entrance to the nation's only liberal arts university for the deaf and hearing-impaired in a protest over its incoming president.
Hundreds of Gallaudet University students have blocked access to campus buildings since Wednesday, and the incoming president has refused to step aside. Classes were canceled for a third day Friday. .. A large group of students and some faculty members are demanding the resignation of Jane K. Fernandes, who was appointed in the spring to succeed Jordan in January. Fernandes has said some people do not consider her "deaf enough" to be president. She was born deaf but grew up speaking and did not learn American Sign Language, the preferred method of communicating at Gallaudet, until she was 23.

Did you edit out the initial identification of "Jordan"? Was he/she a beoved character? Might help explain this rather bizzarre occurance.
Oops, yeah, I edited it for length. This I. King Jordon has been president for 18 years. And he's white. And he talks while he signs too. I just don't get it.
