I took the classes when I was in school at West and had a blast. It's awful they want to ruin an experience for new generations.

Please keep this class open and extend this kind of class to other schools as well! Much needed for elderly and people with a hearing disability such as myself! Please make the morally and ethically right decision for students and community members using ASL to communicate.

My partner is Deaf. I would not have a relationship with her and many others I love if my sign language classes were not available. ASL is language, it will stay in schools.

ASL changed my life so I could make a difference in the Deaf world. Let it change other people's lives, too!

This is an important language for so many people in America. I wish I had access to this language when I was in HS.

The reason many hearing people don't sign is not a lack of interest, but a lack of opportunity. This program not only opens doors to hearing students to fulfilling careers across multiple industries, but it gives me hope that my Deaf students will be more likely be able to communicate with others wherever these students end up - the classroom, the doctor's office, the coffee shop, police station - whatever career these students may pursue. Teaching ASL is a public good and should be maintained.
