Texas one-ups Pennsylvania

Not in college football. Not this year. But in personal responsibility and self-reliance. Not much of a surprise there, really, a Red state outdoing a Blue State in those categories. But a bit shocking when the issue is the Penn State child rape scandal.coverup.

Seems the Penn State football coaches were simply obeying state law when they declined to get involved with Coach Jerry Sandusky’s rape of a 10-year-old boy in the shower in 2002 and only passed a witness complaint about it up their university chain of command. Where it was stifled to save Penn State embarrassment—at the expense of the boy, whose rapes by Sandusky continued, and the other boys Coach Jerry would find to rape later.

In Texas, by contrast, every one of them who found out about it in 2002, whether at first- or second-hand, would have been required to contact state authorities immediately, or risk their own arrest for negligence.
