I want to teach American sign language so i am going to major in America sign language and minor in education, is this what i need? or can i just major in American Sign Language? and does anyone know any schools that offers American sign language as a B.A?
If I Major Is American Sign Language and Minor Is Education Would That Be Ideal for Me to Teach ASL in School?

The more education classes you can take, the better. You will need them anyway, as you're required to get your Master's degree to continue teaching.
I know a few schools have a B.A. in ASL: University of Rochester, Rochester Institute of Technology (both in Rochester, NY), and I'm sure there are others.
Teacher's College, of Columbia University, has a "Teaching ASL as a 2nd language" master's program, once you get your bachelor's.
