If you’re a hearing ASL teacher & feeling unsure, that’s okay. Sit with it. Ask: Why am I in this role? Am I taking space from a Deaf teacher? What am I doing to ensure Deaf voices lead? With ASL & Deaf Studies programs being cut, who gets let go first? Be honest.

They warned you about drag queens.
They warned you about immigrants.
They warned you about liberals and trans people.

But it’s never them.
It’s always another young, white, conservative Christian man.
Always.
