Should anti-war activist Jim Albertini of Kurtistown be allowed to speak at Hilo High?
Initially Albertini was banned from speaking because Hilo High Principal Bob Dircks believed that Albertini’s speech would prove to be too disruptive to the school. But on Friday Dircks reversed his decision after receiving approximately 50 emails that where just about evenly split between being for and against Albertini speaking.
The initial controversy was sparked when librarian Amy Okuyama wrote a letter protesting teacher Joseph Watts for deciding to invite Albertini.
