Rejected petition Start teaching sign language in schools

I would like schools to introduce BSL into schools for all kids to be able to understand and learn the language of deaf people.

More details

So many people every day suffer with hearing loss in all levels., some from birth and some develop later on. Learning BSL in school would be so much more beneficial to learn and it would help so many people.
