Скачать или смотреть stop putting FAKE ASL interpreters on the news‼️

In a Blue Beetle interview with KCAL NEWS, they featured an “interpreter” on the news. Not only are the signs wrong but the captions are wrong too. For the News praising accessibility, this interview was NOT accessible. Interpreting and communicating are two different things. Interpreting is a skill you acquire through many years of studying, typically you must have a bachelors degree in ASL interpreting and then go on to pursue your certification. Putting someone unqualified with maybe one ASL class under their belt does not make them fluent or an ASL interpreter. Claiming to be an ASL interpreter is illegal and violates the ADA law. Do not use your ASL skills as a way to practice your interpreting skills in a professional setting. You are taking away access.
