Kant says that if lying is wrong it is never ok to lie. Your supervisor asks you what you think about the companys latest initiative to require all employees to learn sign language. Your opinion is that it is not necessary for employees of a gourmet popcorn manufacturer to know sign language. You feel it is a waste of resources and not a skill you feel you will use. There are no deaf employees and you believe the only reason for the initiative is that the CEOs daughter is deaf. You are an ethical person and believe lying is unethical. What do you say?
