Though I am incredibly disgusted by some of the people who chose to turn the other cheek (certain people in power who were not even Penn State Alumni), I will not allow this scandal to define my college experience and the pride I take in proudly telling people I graduated from Penn State. I guarantee that there are MANY other Penn State Alums that would say the same thing. So, while this is upsetting, please stop pointing the finger and ASSUMING that Penn Staters are "drinking the Kool-Aid" or "upset about the football program/ hero" and recognize that Penn State was/ is our home.

I wasn't assuming anything. I was responding to her ridiculous comment that equated the sexual assault victims' need to heal with those in the Penn State community who might require 'healing.'
