I disagree completely.

Cursive was just an irritation to me in school, never saw the reason behind it when I could print perfectly well.

Eliminating cursive does not mean eliminating the ability to communicate in print, it just means eliminating something from classroom time that has the same real world value as sentence diagrams.
