Laughable

Florida has introduced a bill to require students to learn cursive, beginning in 2nd grade and have an evaluation in 5th grade. 

"In a digital age, we must not lose sight of the foundational skills that connect us to our history and sharpen our minds," said Republican Rep. Toby Overdorf of Palm City, the bill sponsor.

"If our students can't read cursive writing, they can't read the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution or even a grandparent's handwritten letter," 

I am on the fence about teaching cursive. But the comment about a grandparents handwritten letter is absurd. 

Of course, no one writes letters anymore.  Full stop.  

And a 2nd grader would be about 8.  Generationally, their parents would be somewhere in their late 20s, and the grandparents would be in their late 40s or early 50s. 

I don't know anyone in that age range who actually writes in cursive. It's a lost art.
