Petition to Reinstate Mr. Hearlson

Although, we the under signed, do not necessarily agree completely with Mr. Hearlson’s views, we recognize that he should be afforded the freedom to speak his mind. We realize that as an institution of higher learning, OCC must tolerate and encourage a wide array of views. This diversity of views encourages us to bring forth unpopular ideas and to test their validity and not their popularity. We believe that OCC should encourage and maintain such diversity. Therefore, as students of OCC, we believe that the administration must reinstate Mr. Hearlson and even protect his freedom to speak his mind.
