Quoted:
New White House receptionist is a West Wing pioneer: 'Deaf people can do anything' From Article: "Anyone wanting to speak to the president must stop by her desk first. Leah Katz-Hernandez, 27, is the new White House receptionist. She is also deaf. “It’s a fantastic opportunity and also to show that deaf people can do anything,” she said through an interpreter, who is provided for her at work." I watched this on NBC News. They hired a "cute" young deaf girl to answer phones and greet VIP's but since she can't hear or speak she has to have an interpreter? Why not just pay the interpreter instead of having two people do one job? View Quote My first thought as I watched it on the news. Makes perfect sense if you're a career politician. |

If deaf people can do anything, can we stop considering it a disability?

Quoted: So, the interpreter picks up the phone, answers it, relays to the deaf girl, and translates the sign language back to the caller? What a fucking Chinese fire drill. She's just a kid who doesn't know better, but her parents or someone close to her shouldn't let her be used as a pet deaf person. View Quote She knows something: How things happen. She was a campaign worker for O, and her parents are likely big party contributors "In the segment, Alexander teed up Katz Hernandez to praise the Obamas: ALEXANDER: A former White House intern, Leah worked for President Obama's reelection campaign before being hired on to the First Lady's staff. She still remembers the first time they met. |

How does she answer the phone? sounds like a Hellen Keller joke.... how did Hellen Keller burn her ear? She answered the iron silly question, the interpreter answers the phone, interprets the call to her, she then signs back, answers are asked, and answered, through the interpreter who then routes the call through the switchboard where it is answered by a blind person whose other job is making xerox copies and transcribing notes that have to be read to her, the notes then are typed in braille then translated back into typed print by another interpreter. |

When making big statements matters more than the job and you are spending other people's money to do it.

Every deaf person I've ever met in real life has been an egotistical, do nothing wrong asshole of the purest composition. I know there's nice deaf folk. I'm just saying. |

What is the role of the interpreter? Oh that's right, to do what the deaf person can't, which is the entire job. |

Lovely.
The mere thought of the additional expense of also having to hire an interpreter making "reasonable accommodations" scares the daylights out of employers, and this situation just reinforces the [well justified] fears of employers. 30 minutes into an interview the question of my military separation came up. I told the interviewer that I lost hearing in one ear. The interview ended right there. After being hired and relocating for another job, I was told during in-processing that I failed the hearing test and couldn't be hired - the decision was overturned, but it was unsettling to say the least. I no longer mention hearing loss until some situation absolutely forces my hand. Fortunately, my official medical DQ now officially reads "reconstructive metal for fracture" or something like that ... so I no longer have to mention hearing loss. Thank god for massive blunt force trauma, I guess. |

Considering that the ability to hear and speak are probably two chief characteristics of a receptionist's position... can I get a gubmint job, claim some sort of mental problem, then as an accommodation, have the gubmint hire somebody to do my job for me?
