The US' systematic attempt to erase our culture continues, including through direct punishment of children speaking Hawaiian at any time in school by teachers. The teachers go unpunished by the education department & state, that sanction this culture suppression.

'McKinley School' was named for the US president who backed the US coup of Hawaii, banned our language & culture, removed of our universal healthcare, brought a horrible plantation system. The statue, holding a fake annexation document, is itself anti-Hawaiian propaganda.
Illegitimate "Treaty of Annexation' “The first is that it heroifies a figure who was really instrumental in making sure the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom was solidified.” “Second, the statue of McKinley on that campus — he’s holding a ‘treaty of annexation,” she said. “There is no such treaty of annexation, so essentially it's propaganda meant to make people think there was a legitimate annexation under law when in fact there wasn’t.”

“We are not American. We will die as Hawaiians We willnever be Americans... They took our land. They imprisoned our queen. They banned our language. They forcibly made us a colony of the United States”
