Please sign the
petition to recognize ASL as an official school
language. The
Obama Administration to officially recognize American Sign Language as a community language and a language of instruction in schools.
For more than a hundred years,
American Sign Language (ASL) has been persecuted as a "
lesser" language. It is a homegrown and complete language that has survived efforts to wipe it out.
Yet today, ASL is still considered "
foreign" and not given the respect and protection it needs. Many
states have passed
laws allowing credit for ASL classes as a foreign language but they have stopped short of recognizing its benefits as a
language of instruction in schools, despite studies proving its benefits for students.
Official federal recognition will finally give ASL the "
welcome home" it needs. We need 25,000 by December 12, 2012.
Please signatures the ASL petition now!
