[NFBSF] Leaving the national Federation of the blind

[Jeanette Torres]

I never wanted this to go out to the entire list. I pressed on Christina Daniels address and thought I was emailing only her. However, it went out to the entire list. I do not consider myself a sexual assault victim. It was more like physically assaulted because the student put his hand on my neck And then threaten two hurt me. I just want to let people know that before they assumed that I was a sexual assault victim. I will unsubscribe from the list now.
