Make British Sign Language compulsory in schools.

Additional Information

My Dad is profoundly deaf with no speech and has been all of his life. I find it disgusting how we get taught French, Spanish and German but not British Sign Language. Most people do not know what my dad is saying but if people learnt it in schools then more deaf people would be understood and it wouldn't be intimidating to talk to them as most people think it is.
I wanted to make this petition because deaf people are not treat fairly and hardly anybody knows BSL, it's not like it takes days or hours to learn it takes years and school is the perfect time to do this.
Where is the respect for the deaf?
