Penn State at Halftime

Both teams pause in a pre-game prayer for victims of sex abuse.

The second quarter between the Nittany Lions and Nebraska’s Cornhuskers has just ended as I am writing this post. 

But it’s halftime for more than just a football team today.  The leadership of Penn State University, as well as that of its athletic program is also in the midst of its own halftime. 

Both are losing badly.  Maybe we should put the kids in charge. 

It’s hard to find the right words to categorize the shameless acts which are alleged to have been committed on the campus of Penn State University by people entrusted with the welfare of young people.
