The disgusting and still unfolding scandal at Penn State has resulted in the firing of long-time coach Joe Paterno, and the arrest of the accused molester, former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Penn State President Graham Spanier was also fired. There are at least 8 victims -- underage boys who were molested on the Penn State campus by Sandusky, who ran a youth camp. Paterno and several other officials at Penn State were made aware of Sandusky's abuse, but apparently decided that the school's image, recruiting and legacy were more important than protecting the molested boys and reporting the crimes.
Last night, some moronic Penn State "students" rioted in protest of Paterno's firing by Penn State. It's a shame that they were more concerned with the firing of the former coach than the victims of the crimes that were covered up by the school. No course can teach honor apparently. It's likely that the ramifications of this story will be with Penn State for years to come.
