   N.H. lawmakers boldly lead us into the future by mandating that our children learn ... cursive handwriting.

     @GraniteGeek @nsarwark
     "Rep. Glenn Cordelli, a Tuftonboro Republican, told the committee of his niece who can’t read her aunt’s cursive handwriting."

     I'm 41 and I never could read the cursive of my older relatives despite learning it in school.
     Maybe scribbles just aren't the best form of written communication?

     @Beeks @GraniteGeek @nsarwark I just loved that instead of using a form of handwriting her niece can read when...I assume personalizing cards for her? Her response is to mandate every child in the state learn how to read it.

     It's an incredible refusal to adapt to what makes everyone's lives easier in order to keep your own comfortable.
