Protesters at Statehouse

Some 100 people showed up to protest at the Indiana statehouse today. They wanted to let governor Mitch Daniels know they are not happy with his recent appointments to the Indiana School for the Deaf's board. They say he's packing the panel with mainstreaming supporters and the school is moving away from teaching ASL. The members he's appointed are Mary Susan Buhner, Scott Rigney, Lucy Witte and Ann Reifel. The protesters want Buhner, Rigney and Witte to resign. Only Reifel is deaf.
