$$e lUntfjcm Editorial Board Editor: Shane Szalai Managing Editor: |im C lass News Editor! Michelle D isler Campus Life Editor: Jennifer Vanse O ur View In order to really learn, GVSU campus needs to develop more tolerance University campuses are supposed to be places people go to learn. And in order to learn, we have to recognize that our ideas aren't always right and don't always apply toeveryone. Since the best way to decide what is right is to get all sides of an issue, we can't let one perspective wipe out all the others. Most of the time, most people on our campus view things with open minds and then analyze what they observe to determine what they believe. Last Wednesday, however, the GVSU campus witnessed the sort of closed-minded behavior that no one - least of all a university community such as our own - should have to tolerate. One group of students wrote messages in support of National Coming Out Day, as was their right, guaranteed by the First Amendment. Another student, or group of students, disagreed with Campus Concerns the message, and decided to deface it. Defacing someone's expression is not free speech; it is taking Gay-bashing Shows lack of tolerance on GVSU campus away someone's right to free speech.
