I’m afraid that old-fashioned cursive writing is fast becoming a thing of the past. My father and grandmother both had beautiful Spencerian penmanship; and I think it was a useful kind of training, far beyond the obvious value of penmanship, for kids.
But I think it’s gone; unless there is some kind of cultural revival.
I was taught the Palmer method of cursive writing and won the penmanship award in Mrs. Skull’s 5th grade.
But I didn’t like the Q, S and Z, used printing letters after we went our separate ways and made the rest more economical. IOW, I got lazy.
I wonder if they'll come a day when there's no one left to read our archived documents, which are all in longhand. There's times I wish I could read Latin, Old English, etc. It would be nice to be able to read online documents/books in those formats.
There better be a revival for the Original Documents of this country will not be able to be read by this dumbed-downed generation, so that the Marxists can literally change the words in the Declaration when they put it in their Marxist revisionist textbooks for Common Core, etc. (which they will). They already have been caught rewriting the 1st and 2nd Amendments in textbooks. Google it—and get your children OUT of Common Core Communism. It will destroy their ability to use reason and logic (on purpose).
I have found Classic books that were CHANGED——including The Princess and the Goblin. There was NO indication of abridgment or adaptation. Why? Because the original has much more complex concepts about Good and Evil and given directly by the author who happened to a be a Christian pastor and knew the purpose of literature for children is instilling wisdom and virtue. The Marxists have to erase all Christian references in all literature so they can flip the worldview in children to satanism (vice for slavery) for the NWO of dumb mindless non-thinkers.
Control of Words and Language is Mind Control. (Wittgenstein). When the Marxists CAN’T change words in books, they change the MEANING of the words to be the opposite of what they used to mean. Now the rainbow, instead of being a sign of a covenant with God, represents sodomy and other demonic, vile behaviors so they can be normalized in your children like in the muslim boy harem countries.
Same with the world “Marriage”. Tell me how two males sodomizing each other can consummate a marriage or make a “family”? Now you have lust and dysfunction and satanism described as “love” and babies to be bought and sold and denied their biological parent (pure Marxism).
The Marxists have removed Objective Truth and Right Reason from Just Law (it is impossible). All to flip 2000 years of ethics back to paganism and Ba’al worship where sodomizing babies and drinking their blood is part of their rituals and normalized again “in the children” who are told to take Pride in anal sex and masturbation by 3rd grade at the latest.
