Right to use sign language in educational programmes

Comme depuis quelques années, à Toulouse, la LSF est utilisée dans le classes mixtes sourds/entendants.

Il en est de même à Paris, à Lyon et prochainement à d'autres...

Le souci est toujours d'informer et de prévenir les autorités judiciaires, éducatifs et institutionnels afin de pouvoir pratiquer la LSF en tous lieux et en toute circonstances.

La question est : si un aveugle nous forçait à apparendre le braille, ferons-nous de même pour la LSF aux entendants ? J'en doute fort mais c'est adresser un message fort pour ainsi faire comprendre aux entendants que la dictature du bruit ne nous concerne pas.

Dure bataille, mais on aura jamais fini cette guerre-là...(dixit RAMBO...)

A la revoyure !

Olá meus amigos, eis uma petição importante para todos os Surdos assinarem contra e a favor conforme depende do que se diz o anexo completo. Abraços

I support 100%

In congratulating,From now on we can include social and human! and not separately

I am deaf from the Ghana and the staff of the Ghana National Association of the Deaf. it is good this event has come out and this is the right time. I want to say that sign language is the way that deaf people over the world can express themselve well on issues affecting them.

I supper the idea that the sign language must be used in the educational programmes across the world. As an association here with are doing everything possible to let the Ghanaian understand us why sign language is very important to us.

I write to support the cause that sign language like any other language should be used in education to enhence the education of the deaf.

'Disability' they say is no respector of person and anyone can become disable through no fault of theirs. Those of us who are already using the sign language, our right should not be curtailed.

Let us hold hand in hand to petition against this abolishing of sign language in education.

Thank you.

We do not really need to have the third parties in our classrooms since we have the right to have the natural method to deal with ASL. It would be nice to have Deaf or CODA teachers. Also, it doesnt really require to have oral speaking or listening for us to hear or speak to be involved since it will interfere our learning process with ASL all along.  It s more freedom of signing for all of Deaf babies/children s rights to have their Deaf language anytime. Deaf languages are ROCKS!  :)

it is abolut time they are awake up  130 overdue  b

ack to the future  deaf education will be enpowered

by using visual sign language 

Deaf Children should have the right to receive education and training through Sign language as medium of instruction and also receive equal knowledge about Sign Language presented as a language subject.

I'm culturally Deaf with the big "D" and communicate primarily in ASL. I agree with the petition that we should respect all grammatically sophisticated langauges, whether they be spoken or signed, BUT...I'm not sure I agree that we should  also respect all other artifical and flawed forms of communication that were created by hearing people to force deaf and hard-of-hearing children to communicate more English-like, such as signed English or Manually Coded English (MCE). English is meant to be spoken or written, but NOT signed, whereas ASL is meant to be signed, but not spoken. Teaching signed English to D/HH children  is equivalent to teaching "spoken ASL" to hearing people. If I am wrong, please explain or clarify what this petition means by "...and all forms of communication." 

One can not love without sign language!

Keep the Deaf Peoples Right to sign language!

Empowering deaf children to become life long learners is good for the global economy.  Empowerment begins with sign language skills.

I am deaf and I grew up in a mainstream educational setting. In my primary years, my only communication was oral and it was a daily struggle for me. I could talk clearly and I could lip-read people but it was a chore for me rather than a natural communication channel.  When I went to middle school, I had my first sign language interpreter and that was when the world opened up for me through sign langauge. That was the access I needed in education and it should have started from the beginning. If it wasn't for the sign language access that changed my life, I wouldn't have many professional opportunities I enjoy today because of the ineffective oral communication method.

Languages of all form must be recognised in the educational process of the human race. No one language should be held supreme to others. Doing so is tertamount to gross violation of others basic human rights. Sign Language must be recognised and made acceptable in all form of the educational process, if only Deaf people are to be seen playing pivotal role in nation building.

Thank you for you message. True sign languare very important but African misunderstand that what is mean sign languare so we introducetion sponsor.
