[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1835927, member: 18945"] Yes, I think it is now 11 states that have [U]recently[/U] passed legislation to include an option or requirement to teach cursive. 16 states had previously done so, so the total is around 27 states that can or will be teaching it.

Cursive was one of the subjects that got omitted. From LA Times: "[I]Across the country, cursive writing had been substantially abandoned for more than a decade in favor of teaching elementary school students to type after they learned to print letters.
