I have never been to Washington, D.C., so I am curious what is NPR stand for in relating to her internship? I read the comments and that is very upsetting that they are blaming the Deaf intern. They do not understand her perspective as a Deaf person from Gallaudet University. So Gallaudet University were caught off guard not knowing about the NPR reputation on luring the deaf people for interns for their own purpose of using them for their own means. They want them to be hearing, not accepting them to be deaf people. That is cruel.
