In the case of John Doe v. Kamehameha Schoo, John Doe filed a lawsuit complaining that Kamehameha’s requirements were against the Civil Right, that everyone is the same no matter the color of their skin or race. John Incomplete sentence Doe being a high school graduate and of no descendant of Hawaiian ancestry at all, my initial thoughts being "Why did this non-native file this lawsuit?" It could be due to the fact he was not allowed to attend a wonderful school like Kamehameha, but there are thousands of Hawaiian students who apply to Kamehameha and don't get the opportunity to attend. However, Pauahi didn’t leave them out because along with the Kamehameha Schools, her trustee created programs like students from the 5th grade to Post-high school. These programs allow these students from public and other private schools the same opportunities as the on-campus student. It was in Pauahi’s will that a school be created to help native Hawaiians survive with an education; it had nothing to do with a hate towards white men. She saw that her people were declining and wanted her people to thrive like any other race; Kamehameha school wasn’t made Repeated Stem to exclude a race or to make Repeated Stem a declaration that the Hawaiian race was any better, but to better her people.

In a case that multiple 'that' deals with a non-Hawaiian boy adopted by a Hawaiian family, that multiple 'that' was accepted to Kamehameha but later decline due to the lack of evidence that multiple 'that' he was actually a Hawaiian descendant. When the boy’s parents filed a lawsuit against KamehamehaKamehameha, which made them create a deal with the family and allowed the boy to attend the Kapalama campus. This very much upset a lot of people in the Hawaiian community. One being the President of the 'Ilio'ulaokalaniMore…'Ilio'sulfoalanine Coalition, Vicky Holt-Takamine; who had to say this about the solution, "Do I feel betrayed and used? Absolutely. ... How do you explain this to the thousands of Hawaiians who get turned down? How do you explain this to the Hawaiians who didn't get in the past, didn't get in this year and won't get in the future?" I absolutely agree with what she has to say, with me being a native Hawaiian student who had applied to Kamehameha which the hopes of getting in but did not. I don’t understand how Kamehameha declines Hawaiian students
