DISCRIMINATION IN HAWAII
A school in HI only admits students who are descendants of native Hawaiians. A Caucasian student has sued based on a claim of racial discrimination. In light of the recent SCOTUS decision about diversity being the new national education goal, this might be an interesting test case. One problem, though- the school appears to be completely private, funded by a trust set up by the old royal family. If so, I don’t think he’s got a chance.

I do not understand what business the government has, telling a private school that it may not pick and choose the students it wants. I really don’t understand it. It may not be very nice, but why is it the government’s business? It would be one thing if the government didn’t provide a free public education to all kids regardless of race, but it does. All children will have a crack at some kind of education. So where’s the justification? |
