What should happen at Penn State?


I agree that his statue should be taken down. We need to walk the "second mile" and observe evil, but we must also learn to discern the difference between weakness and evil. Here is BLOG post from Brent Peterson about this.

Does the reference to the “second mile” in the bible challenge you to be vigilant about evil? This can be contrasted with bearing with our weaknesses which is another command in scripture. God exposes us to the weaknesses of other believers so we can bear their burdens and fulfill the law of Christ. In hindsight the Sandusky case looks like a very black and white difference between weakness and sin. Sometimes it can be tricky to discern the difference between weakness and evil. It may have appeared obvious to eye witnesses, but necessarily to Joe Paterno. 


In retrospect we should crush the showers, and suspend football for a year. However, the more important consideration is that we should teach how to better discern weakness from evil at Penn State, and all universities.
