Rejected petition Make sign language compulsory subject at schools.

If we want to be a global planet we need a universal language. We believe sign language is the best option as it has no pronunciation trips and no political connotations. We believe that this is a good cause and think it should be taught in schools to allow the new generation to get a head start.
