About 'national louis university transcripts'|Is there a "Virulent Left-Wing" Bias in Education
Peer pressure can persuade a person to do all kinds of things, from smoking a cigarette to getting an eyebrow piercing, to even purchasing a Justin Bieber album. But if you think that peer pressure affects only tweens obsessed with movies about vampire romance, think again. Penn State University president Rod Erickson's decision to tear down the statue of legendary football coach Joe Paterno proves that even heads of universities are capable of behaving like gullible teenagers. The famous bronze statue of Paterno, long a fixture of the Beaver Stadium landscape, was torn down earlier this morning, in an attempt to bring closure to the sex scandal involving Jerry Sandusky. In a statement released earlier this morning, Erickson stated: "I believe that, were it to remain, the statue will be a recurring wound to the multitude of individuals across the nation and beyond who have been the victims of child abuse." Give me a break. If Erickson truly felt that way, the statue would have been torn down before the mortician put the last coat of pancake makeup on JoePa's cheeks. The reason why the Paterno statue was taken down on July 22, 2012, many months after the child abuse allegations made national headlines, was because of the fallout from the Freeh Report, the so-called "independent" investigative report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh which seems to imply that Paterno was part of a major cover-up. But what did you expect to find in a so-called "independent" report that was commissioned by Penn State's Board of Trustees? Did you actually expect Free to bite the hands that feed him? While the Freeh Report is being cited as conclusive evidence of Paterno's wrongdoing, even the most ardent JoePa haters are left grasping at straws trying to find something in the 267-page report that specifically states that the coach intentionally tried to sweep Sandusky's dirt under the proverbial rug. For instance, Johnette Howard of ESPN.com tried her best to make Paterno look like an unconscionable monster (she even likened the coach to O.J. Simpson), but came across looking like an armchair journalist instead. In her vitriol-drenched tirade against the Paterno family for their decision to finance their own review of Freeh's findings, Howard perused the 267-page report and the best "evidence" she could come up with was an email from athletic director Tim Curley to vice president Gary Schultz and president Graham Spanier on May 5, 1998, which simply reads: "I have touched base with the coach [Paterno]. Keep us posted. Thanks." That's just one example, of course. Read any article about the Freeh Report, and you'll be hard pressed to come across any evidence which conclusively implicates Paterno's role in a Mafiosa-like caper. The fact of the matter is that the Freeh Report is the end result of an investigation which pored over 3 million emails and documents and examined 400 interviews, and after all of that investigation, Freeh came to same conclusion that Paterno himself did- he should have done more. The report concludes that Paterno was aware of the allegations as early as 1998, and that he brought the matter to the attention of his superiors, who sat on it the same way a mother hen sits on an egg. In other words, the report corroborates what Joe Paterno had been saying all along. However, the report's language does little to preserve the late coach's reputation. The report implied that Paterno intervened in a decision to report the 2001 shower incident witnessed by former graduate assistant Mike McQueary. Since we cannot speak for Paterno, and since he obviously can no longer speak for himself, we have to assume that Paterno probably did not believe McQueary, or possibly believed that the graduate assistant didn't present a strong enough case. This is a definite possibility, since that alleged "victim" has yet to come forward and has yet to be identified, despite exhaustive searches by authorities. If you have a hard time believing that, do yourself a favor and read the transcripts of the Sandusky trial. Ultimately, university president Erickson bowed to peer pressure, not because of any overwhelming concern for victims of child abuse, but to appease the misguided and ill-informed masses. Those of you who applaud the removal of the Paterno statue shouldn't feel any sense of achievement. Not until you also demand the removal of Andrew Jackson's statue in New Orleans. After all, he was the one responsible for the Trail of Tears, which resulted in the deaths of over 4,000 Native Americans. And while you're at it, you better champion the removal of every statue of the 12 U.S. Presidents who owned slaves. And let's not stop there, because all over America you can find bronze likenesses of men who "could have done more" but didn't, and yet these statues continue to stand. |
