Molly Ivins Died Too Soon

She would have been having the time of her life on every level of politics.
The Louisiana Senate unanimously approved a new requirement that cursive writing be taught in all public schools.

Senate Bill 275 mandates that cursive writing be introduced in third grade and incorporated into the school curricula through the end of high school. The Louisiana House of Representatives will now consider the proposed mandate.

[...]

It's not clear how many school districts in the state aren't teaching cursive, though several senators said they had been told it wasn't being taught in their home districts. Legislative staff also wasn't able to determine how much money -- if any -- implementing a cursive mandate might cost local school boards.

Senators said they supported the new mandate, in part, because great documents such as the Magna Carta and U.S. Constitution had been written in cursive. When the Senate passed the bill, legislators yelled "America!" and "Vive la France".

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
