HNN said Keaau HS principal banned students from wearing the Hawaiian flag in school and plenny peopo wen get all huhu.

TMT is just a political "whipping boy" for the Hawaiian activists.  They said so in less direct words:

“I think Mauna Kea has provided us something that we have never seen at least not in my time
and now it’s how do we advance our Hawaiian people so that they are sustainable,” said Kuhio
Lewis, CEO for the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement.

They don't care about the telescope.  it could be a national park or campground.  It's all about getting attention for their cause -- no matter the cost to everyone in the state.

I'm sure this guy is watching the illegal Mauna Kea road blockade by the superstitious racists and thinking that if his lawsuit doesn't work out he will sit in the road to the airport... maybe for months.

Cuban-American claims to be rightful owner of Havana airport, sues airlines

A lawsuit has been filed in Miami on behalf of a Cuban-American - who claims to be the rightful owner of Havana's international airport - against American Airlines and the Latam Airlines Group for “trafficking'' in the property that he claims was stolen by the Cuban government.

Can the school even do that legally?

Can the school even do that legally?

There have been some schools that ban the wearing of Americana attire.  Not sure if that went anywhere legally.

I've always said TMT would never be built.
My initial reasoning was cost and racial Hawaiian
( I don't believe there is a Hawaiian race)opposition.
I just read,  #2 site in the Canary islands, LaPalma was just
shut down for ecological reasons by their government.
So it is Mauna Kea or bust.
Don't get me wrong I helped do studies to prove TMT was
feasible, and I know many people that work on it.
I think it is an amazing machine.  I'd rather they spent all
that money and talent on Cancer research or Fusion reactors.
Let James Webb space telescope and the rest of the Earth
observatories study history.
I'm more interested in the future.

I am pretty sure they can't blanket ban stuff except in certain circumstances like clothing with gang symbols, drug use, or pornography which can be articulated to be problematic. The way around it is to require uniforms. I could be wrong though, I don't know if it has been legally challenged either.

Keaau HS requires students to wear a school tshirt.  They were using flags as capes which made it difficult for school security to id students.

They are trying to buy themselves back into good graces.   Hope Hawaiian are smarter than that, OHA has been screwing Hawaiians all over the place...

Many Hawaiians are aware of what OHA really is.

OHA is nothing, but an organization that was created by the so-called Hawaii state government and funded by federal monies to keep Hawaiians under control while the illegal occupation and exploitation of Hawaiian Kingdom lands by the US continues.  They only spend a fraction of the money in their possession on the betterment of Hawaiians and share the majority of the wealth among themselves and their cronies.

They fanatically support having Hawaiians assent to being a "nation within a nation" like a Native American Indian tribe and are obviously against any movement for the restoration of the Hawaiian nation state.  They are nothing but a puppet organization of the US funded by American taxpayers.

However,  OHA is elected.  Hawaiians should organize and elect people that will not be "puppets".

I never hear anything much about the OHA candidates, I have a hard time even finding what policies they root for. Should use your American freedoms to better your situation.

Organize grass roots informational campaigns.  Since anyone can vote for OHA trustees, more info needs to be disseminated.   Also, voter registration drives, and encouragement to actually vote when the time comes. 

I would vote for pro Hawaiian candidates (as long as they are pro 2A of course)

Similar to all other elections for public office in the US, where Americans are often faced with choosing pre-selected political candidates; most candidates for OHA are either already compromised or totally clueless and unqualified for the duties that is expected of them.

Moreover, as most Hawaiians know what the mission of OHA really is, that is to keep Hawaiians under control; that is why potentially legitimate and capable Hawaiian candidates will not waste their time being a part of that organization.

It is nice to hear, however, there are some on this forum who genuinely respect Hawaiians, as evidenced by the CIVIL RESPONSES they post.

Yes, run into that problem every election.   How are you supposed to choose?

Today it was disclosed that the TMT protest is costing Hawaii County $50,000 a day.   The county budget is $55,533,138 requested for 2019-20 fiscal year, of which $26,100,000 is used to pay additional salary increases, retiree benefits, wages and health care for all of them.  The remaining $29,433,138 is being reduced at the rate of $1,500,000 per month by those sitting on the mauna.

But look on the bright side.  The porta potty companies and their employees are making extra money.  Good job everyone.

A(nother) bright and shining example of the superior politically-correct Democrat ideologue rulers (Ige, Lyin' Harry Kim, Chief Ferreira, et al.) of we Hawaii subjects. Can't wait for the "kingdom" to be restored so we will have even more benefits of being ruled by superstitious racist dictators (once they resolve the heavy fighting about who the true top of the royalty pile is...).

The superstitious racist "protesters" said today (in response to Lyin' Harry's full color "brochure" with the insipid "heart" geological feature on the cover... you can't make this stuff up!) that they will never allow TMT (or anything else) to EVER despoil their "sacred"-designated lands (obviously not the lands they lease for tens of millions of dollars per year to WalMart, Target, Home Depot, Safeway, etc.). If you saw this crap as part of a movie, you'd say "I can't suspend my disbelief THAT MUCH! That kind of stupid sh*t could never happen in real life... makes the movie plot absurd."

I just read something along the lines of the TMT project committee/board/whatever is in favor of sticking it out, for years if need be.  That the Maunakea site is that advantageous.

I guess you did not read my comment, so I will repeat.

No, I didn’t. Generally don’t...
