Introduce Sign Language as a compulsory subject in school

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Introduce Sign Language as a compulsory subject in school so that all are inculeded. Especially if face masks will be a compulsory item moving forward

I worked in retail for 2 years and we would get a lot of deaf customers and noone would be able to communicate I found this very unfair. Moving forward face masks will be a compulsory item to wear which will make it harder for those who lip read
