I'm 47 and I haven't written anything in cursive (other than my signature) since age 16. In 11-12th grade we had to type all reports and I always did homework and tests in print not cursive because I hated writing in cursive and the teachers hated reading it. They would explicitly tell us "PRINT NO CURSIVE!"
The author answers their own question.
"How will they interpret the past?"
"In the future, cursive will have to be taught to scholars the way Elizabethan secretary hand or paleography is today."
Fine, I don't see any problem with that. The author is concerned with people being able to read historical documents. If you really need to do that then be prepared to take a short course on that. It's not like learning a foreign language. People should be able to learn to read it in a week or two at most.
