WHY ITʻS TIME TO END THE ILLEGAL US OCCUPATION OF HAWAI`I
Native Hawaiians constitute roughly 22 per cent of the state population, but they represent 54 per cent of the prison population.
They also have the lowest per capita income, the highest poverty rate and the shortest lifespan of any ethnic group in Hawai`i.
Hawai`i public school students receive very poor education by any standard of measurement. They consistently rank among the lowest of any state in test scores.
Most of the bright students who manage to learn something in spite of the handicapped school system leave Hawai`i for foreign colleges and careers.
Tens of thousands of residents have no medical insurance at all.
In some cases, the lives of the working poor are worse than the unemployed.
