Penn+State

=Topic 3- Penn State:=

This past week, revelations of abuse on the part of a Penn State Football coach towards young boys has brought about the firing of a great number of officials who had heard of prior allegations and not done enough to follow up to protect these boys. Reaction went in all different directions and came from many, many different perspectives. THIS IS A DELICATE TOPIC, but it is also an important one. It relates to bullying. It relates to the bystander dilemma of whether or not to get involved and stand up to something wrong. This comes from confusion about rules for responsibility which vary from state to state. It is likely that the soul searching now taking place at Penn State will grow into a national debate. What do you think about how Penn State, Penn State students, Penn State Fans, Politicians, the Media, and General Public Opinion have handled this situation.
