The Ministry of Information has learned that school boards across the United States are reducing the amount to time devoted to the teaching of cursive handwriting. That’s bad news, folks. Pathognomonic. As cursive goes, so goes the state of the American public education system!
In 2000, approximately 1/3 of California lawmakers with school-aged children had their kids in private schools, and the same was roughly true for other big states like New York, Texas and Florida…not to mention for members of the US Senate and House of Representatives, according to a 2001 study by The Heritage Foundation.
At time when urban schools are being racially re-segregated under the guise of “school choice”, and teachers focus more on standardize test preparation, enforcing gang affiliation dress codes, conflict resolution, sexual health, English as a second language, etc., who has time to make sure no child's left behind AND teach all that “readin’, ‘ritin’ and ‘rithmatic” - let alone how to write the cursive G, S or (our favorite)… the cursive Q.
To remedy this situation facing the US education system, the MInistry recommends that all American parents follow the lead of your elected officials - become a attorneys, make millions dollars and pay to get your kids out of public schools - A.S.A.P. It is the only hope we have to rescue for human society the native values of cursive writing.
