[nfbmi-talk] Job Posting - Student Assistants in Kalamazoo

[Terry D. Eagle]

In my opinion I see no need to read between any lines for the true message
and philosophy meaning espoused by Edward Rodgers and the BS4Bp:  The clear
message is that blind people are fully incapable of functioning in thee
workforce, and blind people belong on the unemployment line and the welfare
line, or on the street corner begging with their pity-me tin cup!  Pure and
simple message being broadcast by Mr. Rodgers and VS4Bp!

Those of us who are proud to have been trainers and employers of the blind,
deaf-blind, and other disabilities know better.

Dear Michigan Federationists:

     Today, I received this message from Bob Robertson that I have
included below this email. It concerns a posting for student
assistants at the Training Center. I find it curious that we have
received this posting for minimum wage jobs but have not received
postings for management positions. I urge you to read between the
lines! Blind people will be hired for these minimum wage positions but
I do not believe the Agency is willing to hire competent blind
individuals who possess skills of blindness for management positions.

Sincerely,
Larry Posont
President
 National Federation of the Blind of Michigan
