“That columnist says: The culture of indifference”
He can say anything - it is an opinion. In the end, the vast majority of Penn Staters are
heartbroken, want the whole place cleaned out and are looking forward to getting it done.
Once a new coach is named, he will likely bring in his own people anyway. I’ve wanted that
for [other reasons] at least 10 years now.
Yes.

Well, I'm not sure how you quantify that.
Just from several FREEPER Paterno supporters alone, I can't even conclude that the majority of FREEPER Penn St fans (let alone the vast majority) have concluded what you've said here. [I am bolstered that you seem to represent a sizeable # of Penn State fans who have responded in the right way]
The other thing that I didn't mention was summarized well by Dennis Prager on his talk show.
To paraphrase him, he said, "How can you keep this type of thing from happening in the future [at any campus] unless you understand what happened here?"
IOW, there are those operating like they are calling off a jam at a roller derby match...they similarly would like to cut off any "pathology" discussion of what led to this unimaginable series of events and daily silence for so many years.
Peer pressure (to stay quiet) is inevitably a cultural and sub-cultural issue -- that unless one has the internal fortitude to oppose it...cannibalizes all in sight.
Besides...just as the Roman Catholic church cover-ups fostered discussions for weeks, months, and years, I don't think even if Penn State could marshal 100,000 roller derby types trying to cut off the media "jam" this quickly.
