ive read the article a few times, I dont really see a correlation.
Paterno did report it to "the authorities" he reported it to the head of campus police, Gary Schultz. If you want to be taken seriously, at least stick to the truth. Make the article that just going to the police is not enough, that you have to do more, that you cant trust the police, because the police twice failed in this case. No one seems to want to ask the hard question, why did the police not do their job?
People have the right to believe Paterno should have done more than merely reporting it to the authorities, but to deny that he did, is just an outright fabrication.
(edit)
To clarify she did bring up this point:
.
But I think she placed the wrong emphasis on what Paterno did. Paterno didnt follow up, but he definitely did report it to authorities.
I also am not a huge fan of this line of reasoning, because I dont blame the average German for what happened under the Nazi's, I dont blame the witness who doesnt come forward, I blame the criminal.
