.. Contemporary handwriting is totally ignored. It is at the mercy of the pedagogues who, through their wilful action, place the civilisation at risk. This may appear immoderate, but what is western civilisation if not the cultural community that avails itself of western writing? Pedagogues pride themselves on the fact that they do not burden school children with an introduction to writing. In so doing they undermine western civilisation at its foundation. The frightening increase in illiteracy begins with the neglect of writing in the schools. This threat to civilisation goes together with the differentiation of the writing disciplines.
