First, let me say that I do not automatically rejoice at the news that some human error has caused a dose of public embarrassment upon one of the moral leaders in our society - in this case, Cardinal O’Hara High School President William J. McCusker in Springfield, PA. Any past pomposity or public sneering at lesser souls raises the meter to "automatic rejoicing." I know no such thing in this unfortunate case.
Second, let me also admit that a hope always arises in my mind (perhaps in my heart) that there is a lesson of compassion learned for others mixed within the bitter dregs of the resulting humiliation
and possible loss of paid position.
SPRINGFIELD — Cardinal O’Hara High School President William J. McCusker said he is “deeply distraught, embarrassed and ashamed” of his recent arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.
