Instead of learning MFL in schools learn BSL(British Sign Language)

Instead of learning MFL in schools learn BSL(British Sign Language) — 10 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

I want the government/parliament to start teaching British Sign Language across all schools in the UK instead of Morden foreign languages (MFL) so the deaf/hard of hearing community can be heard

Additional details

It would help people communicate to those HOH (hard of hearing/Deaf) as some people struggle to communicate and you might wake up deaf one day and it would be a nice thing to do so the dead/how community can be heard
