The psychology of group membership helps explain why Penn State students cant stop loving a man who ignored a child molestation scandal

This is a little ridiculously pat. And for the record...it's spelled JoePa. His first name isn't Josephine.

As ASTalumna06 said...some people are being REALLY ignorant. It's like they're almost happy this happened so they have a valid reason to rag on Penn State. Yes it is an almost overwhelming presence in PA sometimes, but holy shit, get over it and deal. I don't know how anyone who has a friend or family member who went to Penn State - which in PA, is EVERYONE - can find it the least bit acceptable to make jokes about it.
