PENNSYLVANIA
The Tribune-Democrat
— We’re appalled and shocked at the arrogance of the Bishop McCort Board of Trustees. It is beyond comprehension what the trustees – many of them longtime community leaders – write about the sexual scandal issue involving Brother Stephen Baker.
In a piece appearing in today’s Tribune-Democrat, the board informs our readers and others that “The time has come for the community to accept that it may never know that which it does not know, and begin the healing process. To do any less is to harm those who have already been victimized and undermine the future of Bishop McCort.”
In other words, the board has no intention of coming clean and informing the public, even you who long have supported this school with your hard-earned dollars, about what it knows or has learned about Baker’s alleged assaults on many of McCort’s students.
How insulting.
This would be much like Penn State’s administrators and trustees saying, “Forget what you have heard about Jerry Sandusky. Trust us and move on.”
