Around 1980, the Mexican government, under President Jose Lopez Portillo, forbad the teaching of cursive writing in all of its schools, both public and private. The children could learn only to print and nothing more. The reasons for this outrageous mandate have never been made clear. As a result, when we look at the signatures of those Mexicans who have emigrated to the United States and have never learned cursive writing, we find a faked, squiggle line. That's all they can do.
This is a very sad state of affairs. Mexico is the only country* in history to go backward in time and deprive its people of an invaluable ability. The young people of Mexico now no longer can read or write cursive at all, nor can they sign their own names.
*That is until now. Read on...
There is now a debate that public schools in the USA needn't teach cursive (and eventually no writing at all). With the advent of ongoing technology one only needs to speak and the writing appears on our mobile and other devices. Someday the masses will only have to wave their hand or scan their forehead to make transactions, so why learn to write?
Why should we continue to teach writing skills in our schools? The reason is this (and history proves this point) ...
Those who do not know how to read and write
will always be subject to those who do.

Are these writers and so-called "thinkers" pooling their ignorance or is there something more sinister going on?
