Oxford Officials To Paint Over Paterno Image

The Oxford public school system will paint over an image of and quote by former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, according to the Oxford Patch.

Oxford Board of Education Chairwoman Paula Guillet told the Patch the board had discussed removing the painting from the Greak Oak Middle School gym in December but wanted to wait until a final report — which was issued by the university last week — had been completed.

“We wanted to make a decision based on facts and not hearsay,” she said.
