The Constitution is written in cursive, as are other important founding documents.

No can read, no can understand and appreciate, no can follow - easy to enslave.

NWO enslavement is the bottom line.

I always thought it was our founding documents. They say they want to educate you, but the dems are up to their old slavery tricks of withholding real education to keep you in chains. Source documents from our founding were written in cursive.

They are trying to destroy it because such a large portion of our ‘diverse’ society don’t ever take the time to learn it, or just cannot learn it. Cursive, when well learned and practiced, actually speeds up putting words down on paper. To be proficient at it takes practice, as does typing correctly. Muscle memory has to be permanently established, but in the end it is faster than block printing.

Not all documents are in type form, we have family docs that are in old English, that are a hard slog going through, all in very fancy cursive of the time period.

Cursive will always be needed. I can write easier in cursive than print with arthritic hands. Today’s under educated edijits can’t read even my print and don’t know how to read cursive.

Modern (leftist) educators are like Demonicrats. They steal oxygen and exhale lies.

Though my penmanship has always been sub par (and getting worse with age), it wasn't for lack of teaching/practice.
Still remember Mrs.Eicher in 6th grade having us do loopty loops of one form or another for 15-20 minutes every day   :-\

Given the video game pandemic, I find this snippet from the article intuitively true:  Few children build models anymore

LOVED building models as a kid (50s-60s) !
Fighter planes were très cool, warships always a challenge, and you simply couldn't do NASA stuff without a sense of awe & pride.

(not to mention Estes rockets .. whoooooosh ! :-)

Cursive is obsolete for the simple reason that writing is obsolete.

Various and sundry key boards have made writing obsolete as communication is electronic not on paper. As a matter of fact, paper is obsolete except as a receptacle for hard copy that must be printed out.

Adobe Acrobat has become so prevalent and so easy to use and perform so many functions that paper is just not relevant

Time spent teaching keyboard usage is better than cursive writing

When I first joined Ancestry.com and began doing family history, I struggled to read the early census records (written in cursive). Many were stunningly beautiful; a few awful. Now, it’s a real joy for me.

Google up “declaration of independence” images; it will take you to a page where you can blow up Jefferson’s first draft. Show it to a young kid; far too many cannot read it. I did this a while ago to a 14 YO - “I don’t read cursive” was the answer.

Can’t disagree. I’m lousy at cursive...got no better than a “C”. Computers don’t print in cursive. And anyone reading the constitution can always find one that’s beened typed.

Yeah, let's throw handwriting on the ash-heap along with Shakespeare, American History and multiplication tables.

And BTW I taught myself to use an abacus when I was a child. It's not easy to explain why but that knowledge made octal and hexadecimal addition and subtraction as simple for me as normal decimal arithmetic.

In 1964, my second grade teacher told me that cursive writing would help me write faster. The transition and being forced to use it in all my classes only made me slower and unable to keep up as well as not wanting to write anything for anybody. My cursive handwriting was always terrible and still is. My signature is a scribble. Once I was out of high school, my signature was the only thing required in cursive, whether it was legible or not. All through college, and engineering career, not needed. Our founding documents have all been copied letter per letter into standard easy to read font in both hard copy and digital. Some might even be written in stone(not cursive mind you...)

Cutting through the education machine’s clatter, I translate the opposition to cursive a couple of ways:

1) We’re too lazy to teach it and kids are too stupid to learn it so why bother?
2) The time we spend teaching handwriting could better be used teaching why America is a racist, sexist hellhole and an utter failure as a political experiment.

Reminds me of their battle against imperial units in favor of the metric system.

Writing cursive requires a higher form of intelligence then what liberals possess.

Mixed feelings on this. For me, my handwriting was so bad that before the advent of word processing, I would write notes by printing them so people could read them. I learned this from a boss who did the same. Frankly, for so many, their cursive so stinks the only way to read what they write is to have them print.

Oddly over time my cursive has improved and I am often complimented about my nice handwriting.

If any of these snowflakes try to do their ancestry or study old documents they will have to hire someone to “translate” documents and have someone to read the Constitution and Bill of Rights to them.
