Reactionary

North Carolina has become a "conservative" state in the modern sense, which has to do with changing and discarding and promoting various things rather than conserving them -- but not the conservative (restorative?) twist at the end here:

"The Republicans not only cut taxes and business regulations, as many had expected, but also allowed stricter regulations on abortion clinics, ended teacher tenure, blocked the expansion of Medicaid, cut unemployment benefits, removed obstacles to the death penalty, allowed concealed guns in bars and restaurants, and mandated the teaching of cursive writing."  (NY Times)

Well!  The Spenserian?  The Palmer?  The nun's style taught in Catholic schools from books named after the style's developers (or the textbook publisher) whose double name now escapes me?  The "secretary" hand?  Who knows cursive now well enough to teach it?  Have funds been allocated to teach the teachers?
