Protect West High's American Sign Language Program

Taking ASL at West changed my life and perspective. My only regret was not starting it sooner. I wish I could’ve taken more classes. So beneficial.

Please keep the ASL program at West! My son completed 3 years of ASL there. I work with individuals who are deaf and have other disabilities. The more people that know asl and can communicate with those who are deaf is so needed in our community!

I love asl!

Keep the program

Keep ASL at WHS!! Why eliminate a program that offers so much to students and has been so successful?

Letting go of ASL at West is saying goodbye to a community

ASL is vital for so many families to communicate, not just with each other, but with the world!

Keep the program. Getting rid of it is dumb. It’s a must to learn.

Cutting this program is nonsense!

I have heard many stories who's lives has been changed from people learning even basic ASL. It means a lot to deaf or hard of hearing people. It's like learning to dance with someone in a wheelchair, it makes a moment that they will remember forever.

Language is the best and most valuable thing you can possibly learn. They are the single most impactful programs an educational institution offers.

I cannot express to you how important ASL is. For students. For culture. For the deaf community. Visual languages are unique and teach differently than other foreign languages. It would be of great benefit to any American, especially young students.

I’m teacher from university. I disagree on cancellation the program. Please stay fight and save the program. Thank you.

We are against the dismantling of the ASL program and it should be taught for years to come.

Please keep it open

As an SLP who works with Deaf and HoH everyone should learn sign!

Maintaining the ASL program is important because it ensures that people can learn this form of communication which will benefit deaf people. In some ways, discontinuing this program may be considered discrimination against deaf people.

This is a good program that is needed. It is very well attended.

Don't cut this program.
