British Sign Language should be taught in Schools
I have created this e-petition because I believe BSL should be taught as a language in school.
My daughter was born profoundly deaf she is 11weeks old and I would love for her to grow up in a world where hearing people are more excepting and understanding of deaf people and deaf culture.
Why should it be deaf people that have to struggle to lip read, be left confused when people around them are talking, risk major surgery to stand a chance of some hearing threw implants, when we could so easily fit into their world by learning to sign.
Help make this happen, stand up for the deaf community, accept deaf people have a right to fit in and be understood.
Make a better future for my daughter and all deaf children like her.
Thanks you.
