Kamehameha Schools at crossroads; Hawaiians protest


The Advertiser reports that "More than 500 people, most dressed in red T-shirts demanding justice for Hawaiian people, marched about three miles through the rain yesterday to protest court cases that challenge Native Hawaiian entitlements, including admission policies at Kamehameha Schools."

And the Star-Bulletin covers the march: "Wearing red shirts and carrying Hawaiian flags, hundreds marched from the Royal Mausoleum to Iolani Palace yesterday afternoon to begin a three-day series of events protesting three court cases dealing with native Hawaiian issues."

KITV reports on Hawaiian holding a vigil the palace last night.

The Advertiser also has a story on Kamehameha School's admission standards being debated: "Kamehameha has reached a crossroads on the admissions issue, on two distinct fronts. In federal court, hearings are set for today and tomorrow on two separate legal challenges of its policy favoring applicants of Hawaiian ancestry. In the school's administrative offices, a strategic plan being hammered out for the past few years has weighed, among other matters, not whether Hawaiians should be admitted preferentially but which ones." A look at the history of admissions.

And the Star-Bulletin has a story on another school started by Hawaii's ali'i: In 1867, Queen Emma founded St. Andrew's Priory.
