CYO! Wow does that bring back memories! Lol.

Should they give back their awards? Interesting question. I'd say no.
We can't go back & erase history although it seems to be a knee jerk reaction in our society to do so.

Take, for example, the huge Joe Paterno scandal at PSU. One day there was a beautiful huge statue of him, plaques, a walkway, memorial of his career. People taking pictures.
Then miraculously it's gone overnite & even the mature trees were exactly placed back into the landscape to make it look like it never existed. Must've cost a fortune!
Still, we can't erase what happened in that community.
I think we're nervous of the "who's next" aspect bec deep down we're all ashamed that this behavior is still socially acceptable.
