Kavanaugh a terrible example

Wed., Oct. 17, 2018

As a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother I’m totally appalled by the Kavanaugh spectacle.

You spend years teaching your children not to drink in high school. You teach your sons not to be bullies. You teach them to respect others. You teach them to protect peers that are being mistreated. In other words, you try your best to make them good, productive adults in spite of all the distractions they encounter.

Now what a pathetic example of human behavior they are being shown by the Kavanaugh debacle!

Illegal drinking in high school. Bullying and disrespect may be rewarded with a high government appointment.

Has anyone stopped to think what terrible examples are being paraded in front of all the children in this country? What are they learning about life if they see a beer drinking bully rewarded with a prestigious position?
