2 top officials step down amid Penn State sex scandal
By GENARO ARMAS, Associated Press
November 7, 2011
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Two top Penn State officials charged with covering up allegations of an explosive child-sex abuse scandal related to a former defensive coordinator stepped down late Sunday after an emergency meeting of the university’s Board of Trustees.
Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley requested to be placed on administrative leave so he could devote the time needed to defend himself against perjury and other charges, university President Graham Spanier said. Gary Schultz, vice president for finance and business, will step down and go back into retirement, Spanier said. He declined to comment to reporters after the meeting.

**Why don’t they let these baseball officials get married? Then this wouldn’t happen. **
 
Not sure why you’re referring to baseball and college football officials… The two shown are the financial president and the AD… both allegedly covered it up. There was only one perpetrator, who no longer works for Penn State.
 
I said baseball to see if anyone would catch it.

Whatever their titles are, I couldn’t help but feel that the story conjures up comparisons with the Church scandals. I can’t quite put my finger on it at this point, but it seems like the college’s reaction was similar to the Church’s.

I guess no matter how illegal this kind of activity is, it will happen. I just think it’s a bad move for our society to legalize certain groups of homosexuality, as it could just lead to more people acting on illegal aspects of homosexuality.

Homosexuality has absolutely NOTHING to do with a pedophile and their crimes.
 
lol thats nonsense. tolerating homosexuality in no way sends a message to people that its ok to abuse kids.

Seriously, the argument is just silly. Why dont we say, “well kids wouldn’t do hard drugs if we made alcohol illegal.”

The same logic is being implied but as you can see it needs a little more umph to become convincing. Why is that? After all, we are talking about drug use. But alas we are talking about two different drugs, just like we are talking about two different acts in regards to homosexuality and pedophilia. Both sins but different types of sin. homosexuality = 2 sinners, pedophilia = 1 sinner and 1 victim
 
Alcohol is not an intrinsic evil. Homosexual acts are. If alcohol were an intrinsic evil, then yes, it should be outlawed.

Sandusky’s alleged actions are homosexual. Same sex. Male, male. Pedophilia isn’t even mentioned in the Bible. Homosexuality, and fornication and adultery are. Try finding pedophilia in the Catechism. Evil begets evil. There are victims of intragenerational homosexuality also.

Couldn’t Penn State have gotten Sandusky to resign? Or maybe some help?

You might want to do a bit more research regarding what constitutes sexual orientation and how it has absolutely no bearing on or correlation with a psychosexual disorder where the focus is children. In the future it will help you from making claims like this that are based in nonsense and ignorance.

Sandusky retired in 1999. He still had access to university facilities as part of his work with Second Mile, an organization that “helps” disadvantaged boys in the area. The incident in which he was caught happened in 2002. Sick.
 
This whole thing is horrible to read about…but I keep asking myself:

WHERE THE HECK WERE THE PARENTS OF THESE KIDS? ESPECIALLY THE FATHERS!

The parents should not have let their kids hang around with an adult who is not related to them! Why were the kids staying overnight at this guy’s house? Why were they allowed to go to games with him?

Parents have got to start being responsible for the upbringing of their children!

That said, I hope Sandusky gets the book thrown at him, and the college officials who didn’t follow up on the initial reports have the same thing done to them.

I thought the same thing. There is no way I would let my 10 year old boy (or any of my kids for that matter) hang out with an adult male that much. Didn’t they get that creepy feeling that all mothers get? As for the fathers, I am not sure there were many…

Can you point me to the research? I don’t like to google anything about homosexuality because I am afraid of what I might find. The Catholic Culture article that CB posted is anything but ignorant.

Since it was an organization that was suppose to help disadvantaged boys, the odds are that the boys may have come from families with only single parents. There may have been very little parental involvement involved in these boys lives, or their fathers may be long gone. A single mother might have thought this was a great opportunity for a male authority figure to be an influence on their son. The advice is given even here on CAF to seek out adult mentors of the opposite sex when that parental gender influence is missing from the family. These parents probably thought they were doing the right thing.

Again, homosexuality has nothing to do with a pedophile or their crimes. Someone that molestes children has a psychological disorder that prevents them from developing the capacity to have an adult sexual orientation. Their victims can be male or female, its the age NOT the gender they prefer in most cases. Someone that claims to be hetersexual can just as easily be a predator as someone that people think is homosexual.

The less we as a society try to make these types of horrible crimes about homosexual rights the more we can actually prevent crimes like these from happening in the future. Lets focus on what is really happening to our children and how we can help them and leave the gay rights movement out of it.
 
Is this the result of all the acceptance of homosexuals in College Football?

As players? The perpetrator was a coach and the victims were young boys that had nothing to do with the football program. They were residents of State College, PA.
