“Truly stupid kids. Our future leaders?”
AGREED!!!!! My 16 yr old daughter said nonchalantly walking by the tv when this was on that those kids are idiots. By supporting the coach they are condoning what he did.
My 17 yr old son feels the same...it feels good to know I am raising them the right way with the right mind set....I would be embarrassed if I knew my kid was in that crowd.
Even within our FR community, there are a lot of disagreements about Joe Paterno's situation. Our son has demonstrated support for the coach while expressing his disgust over the allegations. I can understand that he doesn't think he has all the facts and that we're dealing with someone who has contributed a great deal to the university over many years. As long as his behavior is civilized and respectful, I am not at all embarrassed that he's with students who are supporting the coach. I don't have to agree with all of his opinions to support him in expressing his position - provided it's done respectfully. It's part of growing up.
