Komen should be shut down

RE: “Local Komen chapter shouldn't suffer consequences” [Letters, July 25]:

The students and current football players at Penn State will suffer due to the horrible actions of a few. But suffer they must. Sometimes the innocent suffer from the punishment of those who did wrong.

I happened to see the movie Pink Ribbons, Inc.; I will never again donate to any organization aligned with Komen. When such a small fraction of the money raised really goes to discovering the cause of cancer, donations are wasted.

Komen should be shut down, and the good local organization should be reconstituted under some other name and commit that 90 percent of funds will go to uncovering the causes of cancer.
