Here's a new piece of the "beach week" puzzle of Brett Kavanaugh's high school era. His senior beach week (a summertime blast for private school students from the Washington D.C. area) was in June 1983. A month later, Landon School issued a warning about the celebrations.
In a letter about beach week, Landon said the "tone seems to be one of over-indulgence, of going beyond the usual limits, and of ignored or rejected inhibitions ... it does seem at this point that it is getting out of hand in that independence is being equated with license."
The letter was quoted in this April 22, 1988 article in The Discus, the student newspaper at National Cathedral School. The article noted that "most of the activity, including an extremely large amount of alcohol consumption, seems to take place in unchaperoned houses."
Kavanaugh claims he didn't drink excessively in high school but the New York Times published a letter he wrote before beach week '83, advising his housemates to warn neighbors that "we’re loud, obnoxious drunks with prolific pukers among us." He signed it "Bart," his nickname.
For more on beach week and its relevance to the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh, please read my colleague Jon Schwarz's excellent article on it. theintercept.com/2018/09/28/kav…
