My high school senior nephew cannot read or write cursive

148. It was implicit in your comment that cursive could not be read if not written

"The Quaker School where my daughter attended did not teach cursive, because it was a written language taught to over privileged whites so that their servants could not see their letters or their ledgers."

For several hundred years before the Nazis came into existence Quakers kept their own records in cursive. They were not "over privileged whites" trying to restrict access to knowledge by servants. The Quakers I am descended from were more egalitarian than the society you are describing.

As indicated in other comments in this thread, cursive was originally developed to make it easier to use a quill pen without making a mess. As technology has changed the scripts used to record language have changed, but there is not reason to brand one form of writing as undesirable because of an imagined motive.

You seem to regard cursive as a separate, occult language. It is just a different script for recording information. Even today there are cursive fonts that can be used on computers to emulate written cursive. If someone elects to use that font it does not make them an "over privileged white" trying to put down anyone else.

As for taking it up at the next meeting, I do not follow any religion. After studying the myths of many cultures and the origins of religions I chose to abandon the superstitions of my ancestors and try to lead a rational life.
