Make Duolingo teach sign language
Make Duolingo teach sign language
The Issue
Duolingo has klingon, valerian and latin. But it does not teach sign language. Why not? My father (who has profound hearing loss) was not taught sign language, and when I tried to learn it for myself, I found that Duolingo values made up or dead languages over a language that should be accessible to everyone. I want them to include sign language in their classes so everyone can learn it, and make the world more accessible for those with hearing loss.
