Kamehameha sued; Palace repaired


Another lawsuit has been filed against Kamehameha Schools alleging discrimination in their admissions policy. Meanwhile, `Iolani Palace is getting some much needed repairs.

This latter item is good, because the palace was the seat of the Hawaiian government, was the site of major historical events surrounding the "overthrow" of that government, and continues to serve as a very important symbol to Hawaiian nationals, as the center of the nation they believe still exists, and as a site for many significant gatherings and events. The article refers to it as "the only official royal palace in the U.S." which is the usual tourist attraction line, only thing is it isn't actually in the U.S., but in territory illegally occupied by the U.S. Some of the docents at the palace are pro-independence and manage to work in some real education as part of the tours.
