MommaJ, I’m in total agreement that the private group attempting to put a statue off campus is mistaken, misguided and all that.
I won’t open up 600 pages of argument. Sanctions or discipline or reaction were clearly warranted and Penn State will always carry this as part of their history, now. But to erase student accomplishments, to pretend they werent here and held no records, earned no honors, had no photos — when they werent in any way a part of this hideous crime — that seems wrong.
Mr. Paterno was a husband, a father, a grandfather. He was loved and mourned by his family as such and to wish him ill on his deathbed (and he had been dying for months) speaks poorly of you, not of them.
