Rejected petition Make sign language compulsory from nursery age children onwards

I would like the government/parliament to make sign language compulsory from a young age that’s easily adaptive to learn sign language as it’s a possibility that everyone in their lifetime will come across someone who needs to use sign as their only way of communication

More details

I would like my children to be able to communicate with deaf children, every child should be able to feel “normal” and not separated from eachother because most children don’t know how to use sign language as a way of communicating unless “usually” taught by someone who has a deaf relative
