Have you heard about the three year old deaf boy in Lincoln, Nebraska that is being bullied by public school officials to change his name? It seems that the hand sign for Hunter Spanjer looks like a weapon. And, the Grand Island School district has a policy that forbids kids bringing to school "any instrument that looks like a weapon." According to the report in a commentary posted on gopusa.com, the school can’t change the sign because it is the official hand sign for Hunter’s name, registered through S.E.E., Sign Exact English.
Pressure from the National Association of the Deaf and the public has compelled the district into allowing the deaf boy to keep his name. I would like to suggest that Bill Engvall meet with the school officials.
"Here’s YOUR sign."
