What research? This sounds pretty far fetched to me.
Facebook University.
You can google is pretty easily. Learning to write cursive develops various brain components as well as fine motor skills. I was skeptical as well but just a brief scan of the research shows significant changes in how children think just by learning to write differently.

We can't go online and find out what research they used to inform their decisions. They should be stating this, it's very important that we know.
