people around here in pennsylvania (and i imagine others close by who care) have been complaining about penn state's decision to put a statue of joe "joepa" paterno on the campus outside of thier stadium. the story about jerry sandusky (charged with raping 10 boys, now convicted) goes thru joepa, some think he knew about the crimes that sandusky was blamed for and covered it up.
my question is, do you think he should be held as a damn-near deity, immortalized with a statue, on that campus if he knew of such issues but seemingly swept them under the rug? penn state folks have a very wierd obsession with that guy. he's done a lot of good for young kids and the entire area, but does that override the apparent ignoring of these rape "charges" ( since then there weren't any convictions yet at the time)?
one overview of the story ...
