What the petition asks
Pupils should be taught British Sign Language up until GCSE. dDeaflinks Staffordshire is bewildered by society continuing to accept the oppression of the deaf by labeling them as disabled because the hearing can't sign.
Each year millions of pounds is spent trying to alleviate the misery this situation creates for those who can't speak or hear. Teach Sign.
