I have a somewhat different view of things. Personally I think learning about what amounts to an organized conspiracy to cover up the rape of dozens of children over a period of decades perpetrated by one of the most "respected" colleges in America impacts my life somewhat.
Maybe that's because I have a kid who will be of "college age" soon.
Yeah, my kids are out of college now. ;)
My point is not that it should not be covered but, rather, that it is a “page 10” type of story.
SERIOUS stuff is going on all over the world that can and will affect us ALL. NPR only has so much time in their news segment to cover world news. In the scheme of things, this story shouldn’t even be there. There are a LOT of more important things that did not make it there that should have.
The story is also about the huge elephant in the room that NPR would never acknowledge. Homosexual rape of boys. That’s something we should all be alarmed about, no matter where or when it occurs.
