Keeping the Angst Alive

More than 130 Gallaudetans are in jail right now, including one very popular deaf professor-and-all-around-mensch, and there are many angry, anxious people here today.

If everyone feels he or she is absolutely right, and it's the other guy, girl, or She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named who is causing all the trouble, let all these righteous ones either cultivate personal serenity or go away. Then there will be nobody left at Gallaudet with anger and long-festering resentment in their hearts, and the education of those who are deaf and hard of hearing can proceed.

Question: If all the cranky ones go away, will there be anyone left so that this education can proceed at Gallaudet? Or will it take place somewhere else in the big, bad [hearing] world?

Another question: Was "Deaf President Now" [the first one, not this imitation] actually the death knell for Gallaudet?
