North Carolina passed a law requiring cursive cursive instruction in schoolchildren to be drilled on something is good for kids today , says Rep. Chris Malone .

Similar legislation has been introduced and passed in states across the country, for the most part spearheaded by Republicans .

This summer , the issue gained a poster child in the trial of Trayvon Martin , a teenaged witness who testified that he couldn't read cursive.

“Without sounding overly paranoid,” wrote the blogger Sanford Horn in the Indianapolis Conservative Examiner , “when our antiquated power grid fails, and it will, pen and paper will once again rule the day .” Representative Malone, for his part, shrugged off suggestions that his campaign to defend the teaching of loopy script is driven by political ideology. “I didn’t feel like I was picked on, having to learn cursive,” he told me. “And I don’t think it’ll cause anybody any real angst.”.
