I agree with you completely about Sandusky — but not about Penn State. Please keep in mind that the president of PSU — I think his name was Spanier, or some such thing — was obsessed with promoting homosexuality on campus. If a professor dared utter a word the Spanier considered “homophobic,” the professor could be summarily fired. And if a student uttered such a word, he could be sentenced to sensitivity training or dismissed from school.
Spanier ran out PSU’s highly successful women’s basketball coach for being “homophobic.”
Hey, the university hired him, they are responsible for the consequences of that decision.
