Should Jordan be on the DPN 20th Anniversary program?
Should Jordan be on the DPN20 program? Since the announcement of the DPN20 Banquet to be held on March 8th, folks have been asking that question. The answer is no, Jordan is not on the program. He will be recognized if he decides to attend the celebration.
DPN was NOT about Jordan - he happened to be in the right place at the right time. DPN was about us, the Deaf community. Yes, Gallaudet finally had a president who was ‘Deaf’ but the Deaf community has accomplished much more over the last 20 years as a result of the Deaf President Now movement.
What do YOU think. Should Jordan be on the program or not?

After Jordan tried to divide the Deaf community and arrested students during the 2006 protest at Gally? NO WAY! He is no longer a friend of the Deaf community.

Use your common sense!

No! There is no need to have IKJ on board for the DPN 20th Anniversary. He’s no longer our hero or icon. Thanks.

I find it ironic that at the same time there will be a celebration about progress, that this question even comes up. To not be able to find the equanimity to be in the same room with someone you may not hold in high regard, or in whom you have lost confidence or respect, is hardly a sign of progress. For better or for worse, he is a man who stewarded the exponential growth of the institution we all love. Make room, make peace, and then you will truly have a celebration on your hands!

Hey, I am all for peace and brotherly love and forgiveness. But I am not going to forgive someone who does not apologize. Let Jordan apologize for his actions, and he has had NUMEROUS opportunities to apologize, and I’ll forgive him. If he does not apologize, why should we make room for him?

Personally, I agree with Sharon. King played a role as the president in spite of our agreement or not on how he handled some of the things.
Most importantly, he was a president which is considered one of the most challenging work in the United States. As the records show, he was the president and won the hearts of the United States Congress members, other government officials; supported the success of numerous deaf individuals; was an icon in the deaf international community and more. Our community needs heros, not villians. Not all heros are perfect.
We need to forgive even if others do not aplogize, we need to forgive (regardless) no matter how hard it might be. I would consider sitting next to King at the banquet an honor in spite of our huge differences at how things should be handled at certain times.

I’m arriving here very late, but here’s my two cents.
DPN is history, and King was part of that history. Like him or not, you can’t erase his involvement and role in DPN. If he wasn’t invited, he should have been.
This isn’t about apologies, or viewpoints, or anything else. It’s about remembering the history of what happened. For that reason alone, any celebrations in the future should include I. King Jordan.
The post is correct: DPN wasn’t about Jordan; substitute Corson’s name, and it’d still be the same. DPN was about symbolism; DPN was about paternalism and discrimination.
