Have ASL (sign language) added to curriculum in public schools

My petition is about educating our children in another language. We have many languages in our world today. In our schools, we have to learn some of them to graduate. I want to make American Sign Language one of these languages our children can learn. As a mother of a hard of hearing child and late deaf end adult, I know first hand what happens when people don't take the time to try to understand us and when we can't understand them. Many problems can and have occurred. It's not like, " you live in America, so learn English! " Deaf Americans don't have a choice to learn another language ! Please sign my petition to have American Sign Language taught to our children in our schools .
