there is a way to solve the title IX problem: eliminate extra-curricular activities from schools. Ok, maybe not all. Maybe just sports. There are plenty of opportunities for cities and clubs to establish leagues. That is the way it is done in Europe. And it works.
On the subject of gun control and mental illness: with the recent expansion of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the ADA-AA, imagine if the Feinstein and Cuomo bills (or some other feel-good gun control bill[s]) pass, limiting access to guns by the mentally-ill or their relatives…..only to have the Federal judiciary throw out the restrictions as violating the ADA &/or the ADA-AA?
Food for thought, for those in the debate…..?
