In brief, we should not teach thought, but rather thinking; one should not carry, but rather lead [the student], as it were, so that one day he will be competent to proceed by himself.

Here is Kurt Schlichter's latest column.

I had a good weekend on the bike. I rode four times (Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and today), for a total of 170.6 miles. I'm now only 40.6 miles behind my 20-mile-per-day pace for 2018. I had influenza in September and it also rained a lot, both of which set me back. I hope to be on pace toward my goal by mid-October.

Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court, stated in response to being accused of sexual assault that he was a virgin in high school.
His virginity has absolutely nothing to do with whether he committed sexual assault or other misconduct with Christine Blasey Ford or Deborah Ramirez.
Why are there so many misunderstandings about sexual assault—how to define it, how we understand perpetrators and how we as a culture are sending messages of acceptance of sexual abuse through our lack of outrage and clarity of these issues?
The country elected a president who blatantly demeans women and victims of sexual assault, as well as tolerates and promotes individuals who have histories of sexual violence against women. Our children are watching and will learn that “boys will be boys” if this sexual behavior is tolerated by any person, whether in school or in a position of leadership.
Let’s not tolerate this behavior. Tell your members of Congress to take the time for a thorough investigation and to show respect for victims and not their perpetrators.
Get out and vote in November for decency.
