Conservative activists are criticizing Kamehameha Schools, a private school in Hawaii, for giving admissions preference to Native Hawaiians, according to reporting by the Associated Press. A website was set up this month by Students for Fair Admissions with the goal of challenging Kamehameha’s admissions policy in court.

In 2024, more than 5,400 students enrolled across three Kamehameha campuses on Oahu, Maui and the Big Island. The school is known for providing affordable tuition and education on Hawaiian values.
