What happened at Penn State is more than a typical sports-related scandal – it’s a moral failure that violates inherent human law and a social agreement of common human decency. The public is rightly outraged. But what does it mean? What do we do now? Why did it happen? And what can we learn from it? This week, editor-in-chief Richard Clark hosts two CaPC writers, Nick Olson (who wrote yesterday’s must-read article addressing this issue) and Jason Morehead who discuss the ins and outs of the situation.

Every week, various Christ and Pop Culture writers delve deeper into recent articles and address some of the bigger issues in popular culture.
