Because I'm blind, an airline is saying I have to sit alone. We booked side-by-side seats. But when they found out I'm blind, they separated us. They're claiming it's their policy 1/7 #RightsOnFlights

This is the worst ad ever. Never say no to sign language. You are encouraging to deprive the deaf children of their language and access to education.

We celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities alongside our partners in the international disability movement. We also recognize deaf people with disabilities, who are important parts of inclusive #deaf communities. "Nothing about us without" us is our motto.

I'm sorry to say this is a really bad idea. 1. Makaton is not a separate language. It is a form of sign supported English, using some BSL signs, taken without consulting the BSL community. 2. The creators of Makaton mistakenly believed that BSL was 'too hard' for some children.

Appalling to see so many deaf people having to explain that MAKATON IS NOT A SIGN LANGUAGE in #SignLanguageWeek Makaton are signs adapted from BSL (in a highly problematic way) used with spoken English. It's actually English with key word signing, not a real sign language.

Content warning: shocking ignorance about sign languages and deaf people in the post, the quote tweets, and comments. Right wingers punching down at inclusion is sadly not a new low.
