Penn State Scandal: Keeping Joe Paterno from Addressing It Latest Dumb Move

After Joe Paterno's former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was charged with sexual abuse of young boys on Saturday, there are still more questions than answers surrounding how much Paterno actually knew.

And apparently, reporters aren't going to be able to ask Paterno any questions about the matter in Tuesday's upcoming press conference.

Tweeted CNBC's Darren Rovell on Monday:

Paterno has already released a statement on the matter, noting the allegations and his response to a report from receivers coach Mike McQueary that Sandusky sexually assaulted a young boy in a Penn State locker room shower in 2002. Paterno said he relayed the information to university administrators at the time.

However, Penn State continues to act like it's trying to sweep the matter under the rug when the university should be coming clean at this point. The children and families involved should know what was really going on at the least.

Penn State has also made it clear that Paterno won't be involved in any legal proceedings, and he's certainly not legally obligated to unveil the truth.

Paterno is, however, morally obligated to uncover what was surrounding him, and what he did to stop it, if anything. The reputation of the school and his fellow colleagues has already taken a major hit. By ignoring such allegations, it only makes Paterno and Penn State look worse.

People have the right to know what happened for years behind closed doors, and by demanding reporters not even ask questions about the matter is disgusting.

It's become more and more clear that Sandusky wasn't the only monster at Penn State.
