Morals

The current event that has impacted me in a way would have to be the Joe Paterno case. Joe paterno is the head coach for the penn state football time and have been involved with the Penn state college for over 60 years. I am a big football fan, this case has to do mostly with Joe’s assistant coach Sandusky and how he brought kids on campus and took showers with them. The man that reported the crime (several years later) name is Mike McQueary and he told the courts that he seen Sandusky have sexual contact with a young boy who looked around the age of 10. Mike reported this scene to his superiors and they didn’t report to the police, instead they told the college police and they had only one man on the case. The police investigated mike he reportedly he told them that he would not take shower with boys any more. During this time Sandusky had retired and had a full retirement plan set up from the school. This meant that he had all access to the school resources and received no punishment.  

            My reaction to hearing this news was that it was wild crazy. I could not believe that the campus officials allowed this man to continue to be a part of the campus and it made me sick to hear that the leaders of this school continue to do nothing while all of this happened. I believe that everyone involved should be held accountable for their actions weather good or bad. When I first heard about the case I felt has if Joe should not have been fired from his head coach job because he too reported the incident to his superiors but a man with has much clout has him should have done more instead he brushed it under the rug and now they all most face the consequences
