This! I find the fixation on the mythical superiority of cursive both ableist and incredibly script-specific, and of course a reflection of nostalgia for the good old days. I learned cursive in elementary school but even then never used it, it was simply too difficult.
I read a tweet thread from someone expounding reams of "scientific" evidence about what is lost when kids don't learn cursive, and responded simply by pointing out that there are many, many writing systems in the world that have no cursive. Poor mentally stunted kids they must be.
