I would like to recommend a commentary by Mark Steyn which deals with the bigger issues of the lack of action at Penn State after an assistant coach was seen by a graduate student as the coach committed sodomy on a ten year old boy.
Mark Steyn discusses the culture that has led to a 29 year old graduate student calling his father as a first choice after seeing the horrible scene in the shower room.
It is worthy reading.
“Penn State’s Insitutional Wickedness” by Mark Steyn in today’s (Nov 19) “Orange County Register”.
Great article Buffalo Gal. Thanks for sharing. Something I’ve read on various discussion boards but have been afraid to discuss on TGA is that there’s a perception that sexual abuse of little boys is more tolerated than that against little girls. I don’t know what to think of that. I can’t imagine it’s true, but who knows?
I’ve also wondered how this would have played out if Sandusky had been observed having an intimate relationship with a man his age, and if the same individuals would have looked the other way as they did knowing he was abusing male juveniles?
Sodomy of young boys was known world-wide since the greek culture came into being and we know now that the catholic church priesthood also practiced that though the ages since it’s inconception and still does yet today, further it is estimated that up to 50 percent of the priests indulge in that and is one of the “benifits” of those who want to join that clergy (mainly for that reason). Is this the reason that they were forbidden to marry or that many didn’t want to marry women? History shows that men of european extraction carry that in their gene pool and pass it on and it will never be wiped out. Because of the modern media system we can now know what is happening practically anywhere when in the old days the news of this type was isolated in every town.
