This is very short, but I wanted to get the word out. Just announced on CNN and confirmed by ESPN that the statue of Joe Paterno will be taken down and stored. It may even come down today.
Penn State president Rodney Erickson issued a statement Sunday morning.
"Coach Paterno's statue has become a source of division and an obstacle to healing in our University and beyond," Erickson said in the statement. "For that reason, I have decided that it is in the best interest of our university and public safety to remove the statue and store it in a secure location. I believe that, were it to remain, the statue will be a recurring wound to the multitude of individuals across the nation and beyond who have been the victims of child abuse."
