Who Are You Calling a Pedo State?


Has become...


Like seriously when I heard people start calling Penn State as Pedo State, aku rasa geram sangat. Btw, sebelum apa-apa, let's learn a new vocab today! Pedo came from the word Pedophilia.


Pedophilia: Orang dewasa yang mempunyai sexual interest terhadap kanak-kanak.


Yes to those who don't know, Penn State sekarang dalam masalah besar bila ada skandal bocor berkenaan dengan some administrators. Diingatkan sekali lagi, administrator, bukan lecturer and jauh sekali bukan student yang belajar kat sini.


But as a Penn Stater, to get such an insult is way too much. Students and commentators from all over the world now look up to PennState and say some nasty stuff like we are the supporters of a raper, we are in support of child sexual abuse and macam-macam lagi. The fact is, hanya seorang je yang liwat kanak-kanak tu, and that stupid fag is Jerry Sandusky. Bukan Paterno, bukan President Spanier. Disebabkan satu orang sangap budak kecik, satu university terpalit.


Disebabkan ini, Joe Paterno, (ikon PennState, head of football coach yang dah berkhidmat selama 46 tahun) dianggap bersalah sebab dia tau yang Sandusky liwat kanak-kanak lelaki tu, total lapan orang budak yang jadi mangsa, tapi dia simpan rahsia tu tanpa melaporkan dekat sesiapa selama bertahun-tahun lamanya. But now it has leaked. So orang mempertikaikan, dekat mana morality Paterno? Kenapa dia tak report bila dia dapat tahu kawan dia liwat ramai budak-budak lelaki?

Joe Paterno

Well, he has a reason out of it, but yang tak adilnya dia tak dibenarkan bersuara bagi defend diri dia. Board of Trustees cancelkan press conference untuk Paterno Selasa lepas, and kita tak tahu apa yang dia actually nak sampaikan. Tahu-tahu je, Paterno announced pagi Rabu semalam yang dia nak letak jawatan lepas habis lagi 3 games, so this is his last season la sebagai coach. Belum sempat semua terkejut sebab ni kali terakhir dapat tengok dia jadi coach for the last time(dia merupakan coach kesayangan semua orang), tup-tup malamnya Penn State administrator umumkan yang Paterno and President Spanier dipecat serta merta.


Iconic Football Coach and President sebuah university terkemuka di dunia dipecat serta merta?


Gila kan?
Cuba imagine Pengerusi Lembaga Pengarah Uitm dipecat serta merta.. Mesti kecoh gila semua student protest ke ape.. Yup, and that is what happened at Penn State. Riot berlaku sejurus lepas announcement kedua-dua orang penting ni dipecat- dengan cara memalukan and tanpa penjelasan.



This is what happened soon after the announcement.

The video of what happened as reported by ABC News.


(somehow I can't upload it as a video format in here)

Btw, during this time I was at the comfort of my home, away from the college and studying for exams

Yes, riot yang tak disangka dah berlaku. Student protest sebab diorang rasa adalah tak adil untuk pecat orang yang selama ni spend seumur hidup dia berkhidmat untuk PennState, orang yang dah spend millions of dollar for charity atas nama PennState, and coach football yang dah naikkan nama PennState dengan cara memalukan macam ni tanpa sempat bagi sebarang penjelasan. What's worst is that diorang bagitau Paterno pasal pemecatan jawatan ni through telephone call je. What's the rush? 


And another reason is sebab diorang bengang, disebabkan satu orang buat dajal, now kita semua digelar Pedo State. Reason lain yela sebab media provoke kitorang too much and macam meletakkan burden ni dekat bahu semua orang, macam kan kita menyokong orang yang meliwat kanak-kanak. Macamkan semua warga Penn State pernah rogol budak kecik. Media has spread wrong messages about PennState. 
Stupid.

I mean, aku tak sokong lah apa yang budak-budak ni buat, but it's something to think about why they got so mad.


Well, Paterno dah keluarkan statement awal-awal dah supaya perkara ni dapat dielakkan, tapi yelaa.. Youngsters angst. Susah nak control. This is the statement from him.


"I am disappointed with the Board of Trustees' decision, but I have to accept it.

A tragedy occurred, and we all have to have patience to let the legal process proceed. I appreciate the outpouring of support but want to emphasize that everyone should remain calm and please respect the university, its property and all that we value.

I have been incredibly blessed to spend my entire career working with people I love. I am grateful beyond words to all of the coaches, players and staff who have been a part of this program. And to all of our fans and supporters, my family and I will be forever in your debt."

Another important thing yang perlu diambil kira ialah kesan jangka masa pendek and jangka masa panjang terhadap university. Setakat ni, apa yang aku list ni merupakan kesan jangka masa pendek yang aku dapat nampak from observation and interview kawan-kawan.

  • All classes sanggup hold pembelajaran untuk discuss pasal kes ni. I mean, tadi pun last minute lecturer aku tangguhkan midterm exam yang sepatutnya hari ni ke minggu depan sebab nak ambik pengajaran from what happened. Coz this has affected all of us a lot.
  • Big sponsors dah tarik diri from sponsoring our charity program and other programs. For example, tadi aku dapat tahu yang brand Johnson & Johnson dah tarik diri daripada sponsor program charity university yang benefit untuk kanak-kanak kurang bernasib baik. I mean, now it has affected this charity pulak? Mana hati perut pihak penaja? Disebabkan salah satu faggot, semua hilang benefit.
  • Classmate aku cakap tadi ada sorang kawan dia yang nak sambung graduate studies dekat Penn State terus cancel application sebab ni. Berapa ramai lagi next?
  • Media from all over the world centered dekat Penn State. Even tadi abang aku cakap Buletin Utama TV3 pun cover cerita ni. (Berita Khamis)
  • Alumni (sumber kewangan terbesar PennState) tunjuk perasaan dengan membakar sijil diploma diorang. Why so serious?
  • Kebanyakan university-university lain kutuk student PennState sebab kata kitorang sokong orang yang bersubahat dalam kes liwat kanak-kanak. These people don't know what we feel. And now they are calling us a Pedo?
  • Most importantly, imej PennState sebagai pusat ilmiah tercalar teruk.

Penn State yang selama ni sangat cemerlang dengan reputasi tinggi sebagai pusat akademik tak diendahkan macamkan ada benda lagi penting daripada fungsi dia sebagai institusi pengajian. Media memburukkan nama Pennstate pada mata dunia. Companies tarik diri daripada menaja program kat sini. Alumni tunjuk protest. Student gulingkan news broadcaster's van. Masa depan lapan orang kanak-kanak dah punah. Semua sebab celaka satu orang. Inilah contoh terbaik bagi nila setitik, rosak susu sebelanga.


F you Jerry Sundasky!!!
