In the Rockford,Illinois public school system, teaching cursive is PROHIBITED. One teacher who was trying to do it on the sly got in troble for it, and he had to stop.

"Conspiracy to commit penmanship" is a very serious charge.

I see it as a way cut off future generations from learning from past generations. All the letters and all the writings of our forefathers were written in cursive. Future generations will have to rely on ‘experts’ to transcribe the texts for them with, perhaps, the occasional change here and there to make things more ‘understandable.’

Our great, great grandchildren will stare as stupidly at the Constitution as illiterate peasants from the Dark Ages stared at Latin Bibles.

Hey, cool! Cursive can be the white man's secret code.
