Are foreign languages classes in general not mandatory in US schools ?

Here in france-cool every kid will have classes for at least two languages (one for four years, one for two IIRC), sometimes three. Depending on where they go to school the kids will sometimes have a lot of choices (Chinese, Polish, regional languages, etc.) or sometimes only either English, Italian, German, or Spanish.

Sure was mandatory in my achool, but you could take ASL (sign language) as a language requirement instead of (French or Spanish).

Learning sign language sounds pretty cool but I'd be afraid to lose it even faster than an unused spoken-language if not actively using it

Also you'd be able to communicate semi-secretly like a fucking Bene Gesserit so there is also that incentive
