It's old people bullshit. "School should be like it was in 1948, where we chanted multiplication tables out loud."
I would suggest a small module on reading cursive because there's a high likelihood that the school children of today will come across a document written in cursive, but there's no need to waste their time teaching them to become proficient in writing cursive. Might as well require them to learn cuneiform for all the good it will do them.
