In Hawaii, 15,000 people marched in Honolulu Saturday to protest last week’s federal court ruling that struck down a local school’s policy of admitting only native Hawaiians. The decision has shocked the Native Hawaiian community. The school in question was established in 1883 — 10 years before the U.S. helped overthrow the Hawaiian government. The school was set up with money from the will of a Hawaiian princess who feared the Native Hawaiian population would become extinct. For over a century the mission of the school has been to rebuild and restore Native Hawaiian culture.
