Rejected petition Make sign language a mandatory lesson within schools

In schools all over the country it is mandatory for students to learn either french,German or Spanish.
I think British sign language should be made a mandatory lesson within schools.
This allows people with hearing disabilities to communicate with the public using basic sign language.
