Rejected petition Sign language is universal and should be taught in all schools.

I believe that sign language should be taught in all schools across the world as it is universal and would allow all countries across the globe to communicate on one platform.

More details

Some schools teach this already and I think it should be compulsory. I think this would be more effective instead of learning one foreign language. Not only would this help us to communicate globally, it would be inclusive to those with disabilities ie. the deaf and those with learning disabilities.
