Andrea commented on the petition |As a Deaf woman, I would have been thrilled to see my community and my language represented on the screen. I think NBC does not only owe Ms Mazique an apology. It also has a responsibility to the entire Deaf community to find some way to create a similar opportunity to expose the world to the true capabilities of Deaf people everywhere, and the beauty of our language. How about producing a video in which Deaf women from across multiple continents--including, of course, Ms. Mazique representing the United States--all translate their own national anthems into their own various indigenous signed languages. Broadcast the video around the world, including during next year's Super Bowl.

Andrea commented on the petition |Please allow students to take ethnic studies in Arizonia schools again. We ARE living in a multi-cultural society. And we ARE also living in an increasingly globalized world in which more American businesses and organizations need to be aware of other countries and cultures in order to succeed. Students cannot possibly be prepared to succeed in their future careers without some awareness of the ways our cultural and ethnic backgrounds can influence our perspectives.

Andrea commented on the petition |How come a group of 10 year old children understand the book better than all the grown-ups at Universal Pictures? Surely it ought to be pure common sense that people interested in seeing a movie about the importance of being eco-friendly would also be interested in learning about new ways they can take action to save the Earth. Universal Pictures, get with the program! If you start showing that you take the message of the book seriously enough to share a bunch of "Lorax Tips" on your website then, hey, I might even pay to see the movie, even though I am 42! (As long as the movie has captions in the theater for deaf people like me who won't be able to understand it otherwise.)
