The US Constitution and the Bill of Rights are much more important to me.

Might you not want to read the original documents and ascertain for yourself the intent of the authors?

The Bible?

You asked for a reason, I gave one, you refuse to accept.

Good day sir, enjoy your ignorance.

My point obviously went over your head. The Bill of Rights and Constitution have both been translated into print (by people who understand both print and cursive), therefore you can read these documents without having to read cursive. Do you think there is some sort of conspiracy to change the meaning and/or words of these documents to fool future generations? This isn't "National Treasure" or some wack job movie, this is real life, that shite wouldn't fly.

I used the Bible as an example (with no religious connotation) because it has been translated to over 500 languages.

ETA: in regards to my ignorance, I know how to write in cursive and read in cursive, if you read the entire thread you'd see that. I just think that it's out dated and useless, like much of the other things that we learn as children. I've learned calculus, trigonometry, and algebra II, but I'll never use those in my life either.

I could see cursive as an elective of some sort, but it shouldn't be required.
