Washington bill would require students to learn cursive

(AP) — Lawmakers are considering a bill that would make the instruction of cursive writing mandatory in all Washington state schools.

KING-TV reports (http://kng5.tv/1PeU2FW ) that the bill's sponsor, Republican Sen. Pam Roach of Auburn, says students should be learning how to read and write cursive because it's "part of being an American."
