Fox News hosts posited that Democrats were conspiring to end cursive writing in schools so children are unable to read the U.S. Constitution.
During a Sunday segment on Fox & Friends Weekend, co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy noted that one Idaho bill would force schools to teach cursive in elementary schools.
“So you guys, I didn’t realize this is a generational thing,” Campos-Duffy said. “I talked to our producers, who are a lot younger than us. And they said some of them don’t write in cursive, and they don’t even know how.”
Co-host Peter Doocy noted that Democratic former President Joe Biden had “bad” cursive handwriting.
“But you know, one of my favorite conspiracy theories, and I kind of believe it, is that the reason Democrats don’t want people to learn how to write cursive is so they can’t read the actual Constitution,” co-host Charlie Hurt opined.
“Oh, that’s a good one!” Campos-Duffy exclaimed.
“Like when they’re on a tour of Independence Hall.. this could be ‘National Treasure Three,'” Doocy said. “Oh, I’m here. And I want to steal the document. But I don’t know which one is right exactly.”
“You know who’s — who’s cursive handwriting is [great]?” Campos-Duffy asked. “It’s Donald Trump. Have you ever seen his signature?”
“He’s old school,” Hurt remarked.
