Make sign language a compulsory lesson on school curriculum

Petition Details

The government should add sign language to the curriculum or if there isn’t a way to add a class then replace it with another language taught class.

Additional Information

I believe it should be compulsory for everyone to learn sign language and I think sign language could definitely replace either French, German or any other languages taught as you are more like to meet a deaf person or people than travel to another country.
