Fights among students at Kealakehe High School the past two days have resulted in eight arrests and the cancellation of all classes Friday.

A parent of a student at the Kailua-Kona school told Big Island Now that 60 or more students were involved in a melee Wednesday, though police later said that number was 20 to 30. The parent said approximately a dozen police officers responded to the campus.

Seven male students and one female student were charged with disorderly conduct and released. No one required medical attention, according to police.

Donalyn Dela Cruz, spokeswoman for the state Department of Education, could not confirm the number of students involved but did say that the school was put on lockdown at about 1 p.m.

The lockdown meant that students were confined to classrooms.

Dela Cruz said she did not know what prompted the fighting.

Another fight that broke out today resulted in students being released early, beginning at 2:30 p.m., about 45 minutes earlier than usual, and in increments as buses arrived.

She said the school decided to cancel classes tomorrow to give teachers and staff an opportunity to meet with police and consider how to diffuse the situation.

“The reason for the closure is ensure the safety of the school,” she said.

    Ex-spelled that’s what I would say or have there parents go to school with them for the rest of the school year and put them to work in school campus plus give them no social time means class all day break for lunch only….

    • griefman

      Ex-spelled ????? Now Buffy; I know you’re smarter than you look so here is a little learning tidbit for you to use in the future. Use spell check the word is expelled. Now to your misuse of the word there……. Repeat after me. They’re going over there to pick up their things.

    I believe that the problem begins at home with the parents. The parents are not parenting the way they should be. The parents have no control over their kids and if the parents are to strict, the kids file a law suite against the parents for child abuse. Another problem is that some kids have no conscience. They do not know the GOLDEN RULES! Some parents do not know how to say NO to their kids. The parents give in, no guts to stand up to their children and stand firm on the NO! Hey parents, take away the car keys or driver license. Maybe begin by taking away the boogie board or surf board when younger. Kids like discipline and they need it. Stand up to your child and see that they toe the line to their responsibilities. Make sure the kids stay home and study at night. Especially when the kids are young and in the primary grades. I’m sure you can handle third grade subject matter. Maybe some parents are to young to be parents. Think about it… if you are 16 and not pregnant in Hawaii, there is something wrong with you. Hello! I have raised two sets of children and all are turning out very good. My wife and I (parents) know how to say NO and stick to it. We help with the homework, at least we are home with the kids at night to see that work is done.
    Administrators, do your job, take a more active role in education. Support your teachers. Help them and don’t try to find ways to put stumbling blocks in front of them. All educators are in this wonderful arena of trying to educate our future citizens our state of Hawaii. Pick your battles. I sure would like to see our State of Hawaii to be at the top of the Federal Report Card and not at the BOTTOM.
    Kids, if you read this hope you get you act together.

      A parent isn’t allowed to be a “Parent” in today’s society…the child can destroy the home, run away, physically, verbally abuse the parent, skip school, refuse to do any homework and never participate in chores and or family structure and there is nothing done by our society. Remember, it’s always the Parents fault and when the child steals, joins a gang, and or does drugs it’s the parents fault. The schools want no contact from the parents, the teachers don’t feel the parent needs to know about homework, tests, quizzes, projects and or to be informed because it’s too much work for the teacher to post a schedule and or respond to an email. This is how sick our society has become…and if as a parent you happen to be a teacher the entire system works against you as a parent twice as bad because if you don’t stay quiet the school district will threaten and brow beat into staying quiet. Oh, it’s against the law to lock your child’s door as well… yet the States can deny a kid’s education, deny them food, lock them away for days or weeks and the state has no responsibility to answer to anyone as they hire an outside contractor to do the secret dirty work….

      • But Seriously

        When my wife went to the elementary school to talk about the teacher giving my son homework (we wanted to work with him at home so he could excel). The teacher became indignant and irrational. We spoke with the principal. Still no cooperation. The reason given to us was that the other students would not have the same opportunity and that would be unfair. Really?
        We now homeschool.

        Birds of a feather and all that.I grew up in Chicago in the 50′s and every ethnic group had their own neighborhood. Just taking a walk you could tour little Italy, china town, Germany, (That’s where I lived), Voodoo Village, Old town, Asian town. That seemed to work pretty well.

        Gross oxymoron.

        • Desmynd David

          Wow. Thats like the 5th reference to “multicultural society” used as a slur here, by people moaning about the problem, not realizing they ARE THE PROBLEM.

          Multicultural societies only fail when they have people like ^ this.

      • Desmynd David

        Well then Jim, perhaps we all should rise up and kill whitey? Is that what you are saying? Because it seems the white folk are the ones with the biggest problem.

        Luckily for you, we’re not as violent and oppressive as you, or it would have happened by now.

    • jogotyree69

      This shite has been going on in Hawaii forever — ask anyone who lives there and they’ll tell you. You know who the racial component/instigators were.

      • TomJB

        Ahhh.. so the instigators were “youths,” “teens,” and/or “students”?

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Kari-Ju/1577540795 Kari Ju

        Exhibit A as to why we moved to mainland to raise our kids. Too race-conscious out there. And since the writer here won’t say WHO the instigators were, it’s another pretty obvious case of positive ID by omission. In LA, of course, the Times usually identifies the rioters either as honor students or star athletes.

        • jogotyree69

          or white, i.e.: honkies

        • Watermelonbeast

          When I grew up in Hawaii in the ’60′s, race wasn’t anywhere near the issue it was as when I moved to the mainland in 1968. I guess the lefties have been stirring the pot their since the ’70′s.

    Good old “Cultural Diversty” Yeah,,,Kids will show us the way to a peaceful future. BS. This is and will happen all over the country if people in this country don’t esimilate and become one people with one culture. NO people in our history has EVER lived peacefully in a Multi-Cultural society.

    Think about it,,Christmas is being cancelled all over the country because it “Offends” Muslims, Athiest (same thing) or Jews. Thankgiving is shunned because some people think that the Europeans just came here to kill all Indians instead of the REAL reason which was Religious Freedom. Columbus day is demeaned because of, again, “Mean” Europeans. Tell me,,,after several thousand years of the so-called “Native Americans” living in this part of the world after coming from Eastern Russia and Northern Japan (FACT,,Genome Mapping has already Proved it,,the media of course Won’t tell,,,AGAIN),,,what did they accomplish (besides killing each other, Kidnapping other tribe’s women and children, living in one part of the country until the food source was wipe out then moving and following the OTHER wildlife)? And, would we have what we do now if not for the “Mean” Europeans?

    Would you live in anothe part of the world,,,and why do people risk their lives coming here if other countries are so great?
    I am sick of this Forced Multiculturism that is destroying our people and making them Hate each other because they are TOLD they are just and other are “Mean”.

    • subo

      The Christmas break isn’t being cancelled, however.

      • gucciloafers

        It’s “Winter” break, my dear.

          • Desmynd David

            Then screw Christmas, if that’s all it is. He’s not my savior. Keep your proselytizing out of my face.

      • skoch

        That’s Holiday break to you subo. But it will soon be renamed AGAIN, because after all it has the word Holy in it . I’m sure we will be hearing foms some liberal group, or cult, that it offends them. Then the ACLU will jump right in and begin filing (or threatening to file) lawsuits in any State, city, township neighborhood or church that dares to use such a racist, demeaning, hatefull and offensive word or any word with Holy as its’ root.
        All those discusting words should be called “gov’m'nt provided, sit on your butt and get payed for doing nothing, by the evil rich employer, days”

        All movement will be rerouted and rush hour traffic will be immobilized for you know who and his entourage for 21 days. so Christmas break might as well be cancelled.

    • Tom Roberts

      When Europeans arrived here, they witnesses American Indians biting the flesh off each other alive, like wolves, and teething their babies on roast human fingers.

    • bill bales

      The Muslims would consider the Christians athiests or more correctly infidels because they break the 1st Commandment, worshipping someone other than God. Praying to saints, praying to Jesus (someone who never actually existed) and calling him “Lord”.

      Our Forefathers were mostly deists who believed in God, but not Jesus as devine. What happened to the US? Bunch of Jesus nuts took over and made modern Christianity a goofy Jesus cult.

      Nobody cancelled Christmas, just look around and get out of the basement once in a while. Lots of different people living happily in the good old USA.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Richard-Henkle/100002089881900 Richard Henkle

        Christians don’t pray to saints, that’s Catholicism. As for Jesus, he actually did live, regardless of if you believe he performed miracles and what-have-you. Furthermore in Christianity and Catholicism there is the idea of the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost which are all one and separate. Therefore worshiping Jesus is the same as worshiping God.

        • JamesG1010

          And your are another nut who thinks that Catholics worship Saints, we do not. People may ask a saint for intercession on their behalf, but no one worships a Saint. All prayers in the Catholic religion are to God.

          • http://www.facebook.com/people/Richard-Henkle/100002089881900 Richard Henkle

            Ok Ok, I sit corrected on that. Doesn’t make me a nut.

          • Desmynd David

            Nope. Just another ignorant bigot.

        • Desmynd David

          Ah, so Richard Henkle gets to decide who are Christians and who aren’t now. Nevermind that Catholicism is the oldest and largest existing Christian group eh?

      • Tevis Tumulty

        While Deism influenced many Founding Fathers, the vast majority remained devout Christians, who were influenced by some deistical ideas of the Enlightenment. To say otherwise is a simple falsehood.

      • leo1964

        What about the writings of Flavius Josephus? How about Tacticus? Were they both lying to prop up a religion they didn’t belong to or care about. To say Jesus is not a historical figure flys in the face of all evidence and reality. People abandoned their lives and wrote the first reproduced book in history. This is done at a time when it takes months or even years to write a book. I find your view to be comical, as far as Jesus cult, you sound a lot like the roman overseers of the time, they dismissed their importance as well.

      • RGross52

        You keep believing your lies to your own peril.
        This Jesus that you deny will return and here is what you are going to do whether you want to admit it or not:

        “Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

        Philippians 2:5-11
        “Scripture taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE®, Copyright © 1960,1962,1963,1968,1971,1972,1973,1975,1977,1995 by The Lockman Foundation. Used by permission.”

      • JoJoJams

        Utter hogwash and re-writing of history, Bill Bales. Some of the founding fathers were deists, not all. And Jefferson even wrote his own bible, believing in the goodnes of the Jesus you so mock, and believing he was real – but his bible merely removed all the miracles, thinking them not true. He still believed in the goodness and decency of Jesus. And you completely try to over-look that the country itself was already firmly in the “jesus nuts” camp, and many states initially even had laws regarding their own denominations. You also completely have no clue whatsoever about christian doctrines like the trinity. You, yourself, have a mind, a body – and what spiritual people call a soul. (father, son and holy spirit). and you are still one being. that’s christian trinity doctrine in a nutshell – not saying it’s “true” – just stating that you are MIstating their beliefs, just as you misstate what the founders believed in totality. And you also can’t comprehend the nuance of how Christmas IS being destroyed – for multi-cultural reasons – into a “winter holiday”.

        • Desmynd David

          Jefferson liked Jesus but did not believe him to be god. In fact, Jefferson’s “Bible” was him removing all the obvious bs.

        Not entirely true. It’s been decades since anyone here celebrated ‘kill haoli day’ a childish way to commemorate December 7th. There are pockets of tension, Tongan/Samoan, City Filipino/Mountain Filipino, Marine/Local but most are juvenile and this is the largest altercation I’ve heard of since I returned in 1994.

        • TomJB

          So you think its coincidence that they cancelled classes on December 7th to ease the building tensions? Right.

      • lynn

        We lived on the Waianae Coast for 12 years from 1989-2001 and there was never a “kill a haoli” day at any of the schools.

            Nobody had it. I went through public school in Hawaii (no “districts,” just the State DOE) and have never heard of “Kill a Haole” day until the comments on this article. After some internet searching, it seems that it was a headline concocted by newspapers.

    In all of Hawaiʻi’s schools, the last day of school before summer is reputedly known as Kill Haole Day (WHITE). On Kill Haole Day, school children harass and sometimes assault white children. The origins of the day are unknown, but the tradition dates back to the 1950s.

    …and the Sienfeld “Soup Nazi” would say what….???

  • yarply

    When I was in high school back in the seventies, if the school tried a lock down over a brawl or anything, they would have had a riot to deal with instead. Times have changed. Kids today are violent for no reason, and won’t get violent over reasons they should.

      John there is only a small minority of racist Hawaiians. Hawaiians are actually a minority out here with most Pacific islander and Asian cultures well represented on these islands.

    • http://www.teabagger.com/ DumbTeabilly

      you are a mistaken. there are some hard core Hawaiian separatist types in the Hawaiian sovereignty movements but they are the exception. most Hawaiian have a lot of aloha and are very nice family oriented people. did you ever live out on the big island, molokai, or maui in a rural area away from the tourist areas? your view just might change if you had.

      • UrbanRedneck2

    Hawaii’n public schools – well when people think places like Maui, Kaui, and Oahu they think beaches and palm trees and beautiful native girls in grass skirts but they forget its a modern culture with the same needs like good public schools – and a very pissed off native population to outsiders. Sadly Hawaiian schools are like mainland inner city schools where usually only the poor kids go there. The racial tensions – well its Hawaiian native vs. the “Haoli” meaning white or non-Hawaiians. Sometimes blacks and other races like Chinese are put into the same category.
    In Hawaiian schools they have these official “beat up a haoli” day. And NO, I’m not kidding or joking. If your a haoli and show up for school that day – well you are going to get it and the school administrators turn a blind eye to this. Again, NO, I’m not making this up. This is reality in Hawaii’s schools.

    • Marbran

      UR2, you are absolutely correct. And the bigotry can be found throughout Hawaiian culture, not just in the schools. I lived there for four years, and it was common to hear stories of attacks by Hawaiians on non-Hawaiians. I even once asked three native police officers for directions and they literally looked me straight in the eye, didn’t say a word, then just ignored me. Just more ungrateful bastards.

          You pointed out the reality of the situation. He only likes the “talking points” put out by “officials.” Therefore, you are wrong.

    The problem was probably related to ethnic hatreds exacerbated by multiculturalism – a taboo topic for many politically correct media who want us to believe diversity is all melting pot lovey-dovey.

    The left’s president ran a massive campaign of hate where everyone but white males were victims, these kids were not exempt from such propaganda.

    Their president cannot lead anything but division and lies.

    Antagonism towards non-natives is an Hawaiian culture staple. There are entire neighborhoods in Honolulu that non-natives are warned to stay out of. In some ways, you can hardly blame a conquered people for being resentful, but that resentment is almost always taken out on the wrong persons based on race alone.

  • Not Biff

    With all the racist comments here, it’s pretty easy to see why the USA is such a messed up place. Each one of you condemning multiculturalism is part of the problem, not part of the answer. Your hatred won’t make the world a better place.

      These racists obviously aren’t aware of the benefits of diversity. Perhaps “Not Biff” could list these benefits and identify the beneficiaries.

      • Team_Huli

        I think this “diversity” has its limits. Look where the majority of population growth is coming from now. With each race growing in size, each is demanding the U.S. change its original belief and economic system to the place of the immigrants origin. Results? Fighting.

        Suddenly:
        Socialism is demanded.
        Santa and Christmas is not allowed.
        You can’t say “God”.
        etc
        etc

      Hahahahaha!! It’s “multiculturalism” that’s the problem!!! You’re forcing people to be with other people they don’t want to be with!! And it’s NATURAL!!!
      I’ve seen it at work, and other places. People ‘self segregate’ all the time. All the black people go to lunch together, and all the Oriental people go together…. Unless specifically asked, they generally don’t inter-mingle. It’s just NATURAL!!! You’re trying to force people to be un-natural, simply because it appeals to your sense of “fairness” and “equality”, nothing to do with science or nature or anything else, just YOUR stupid, ignorant FEELINGS!!!!

    • Tony M

      I see you refuse to deal with the issue, and are confusing “race” with “culture”.

    • MrSmarty

      There is a big difference in unwarranted “racism” and reality based on facts and history. For decades there has been hate for whites by many Hawaiians of Polynesian descent. Throughout recorded history there has been animosity and sometimes bloody conflict between different races. It always has been and it always will be and no “reformer” or government can change it. Of course there have always been exceptions but it’s violent racism that always makes the news. In the mainland 48 states there are areas of ghettos where whites are in danger, day or night. Having been a teacher and having taught students of many races, I know that “Hispanic” types hate “blacks” and “blacks” hate “Hispanics”. Japanese hate Chinese and vice versa. In my opinion all of this hate is tribal and it’s rooted in the DNA of the haters. It can be somewhat controlled by religion or philosophy and sometimes by the force of law but, in the end, racism will always raise it’s ugly head.

    • MrSmarty

      The word “multiculturalism” is a misused word. The word is an important part of the politically correct lexicon of today. The root word ‘culture’ in multiculturalism, is a description of the traditions and historical way of life of a particular group of people rather than a signifier of their race. There are significant differences in culture within most races. If you are going to comment about something or oppose or defend a position you should refrain from using trendy, socially or politically correct language, lest you appear as ignorant as those who originally invented and popularized the words or changed them to a different meaning. Another example of popular misuse of a word is using the word “gender” to describe the sex of an individual. The USA is crammed and jammed full of “me too” parrots who misuse language and who don’t have a clue about world history and about historical sociology and anthropology. The very reason that we have an out of control government in Washington (and in many states and cities) is because of pure ignorance of the voters and the reason why there are ongoing violent racial clashes is the lack of swift and sure punishment of the “perps”.

  • mdavis223

    It is no secret that the native Hawaiians don’t like being a part of the US and there are active secession movements on the islands. Something about the imperialistic Americans stealing their land, exploiting their resources and subjugating their people. Sound familiar?

      So, how many “native” Hawaiians are there? I know one and I grew up there. Even he is not pure Hawaiian, but 7/8. All the Asians, Filipinos and other Pacific Islanders who try to pass themselves as “native” Hawaiians are a joke.

      I have 3 friends who moved there, white as ghosts, knew NO ONE when they went… had sort of a hard time for a year and now they have tons of friends are are totally accepted in the community.. they told me for the most part the Hawaiian community has no problems with them because they are nice intelligent people, I went to visit them and got nothing but love from the locals.. they let me know that dumb white people are the problem, not ones like my friends.. so, dont be dumb.

    Mele Kalikimaka, me ka haoli makahiki ho.

  • http://profiles.google.com/scottacnohea Scott Coleman

    Do they realize that in Hawaiian, Mele refers to a song or happiness? Also, if you think being a male of Euro heritage on the continent is rough, try it in Hawaii, where no one is the majority, but the majority of those there not of Euro heritage pick on those who even look mostly or are fully Euro heritage. They even have “Kill Haole(which in the modern use is a disparaging term for white people, though in the tradtional sense referred to foreigners) Days”. Either way, the Aloha Spirit of Hawaii in the traditional sense is absolutely beautiful and has nothing to do with this new or non-existant Aloha spirit in current times. Old Hawaii, it was family heritage and Aloha FOR ALL…new Hawaii, it’s violence. You cannot even defend yourself in Hawaii without, by law, the cops arresting you. To visit is fine, but unless you are in the west coast states, I say go to the Carribean if you wish for beautiful tropical landscapes. It’s the people that make or break a place for me, and after living there for many years, it breaks my heart to say that in spite of the professed Aloha Spirit, I have never experienced more racism in the world(and I have been around the world) than in Hawaii. If it’s not racism on those who even look of Euro heritage, I hear it on the Micronesians. I have always known racism is bad, giving it or receiving it, but never experienced it until Hawaii, the “Aloha” state. Such a huge disappointment indeed.

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001448359974 Forest Miller

      ” Old Hawaii, it was family heritage and Aloha FOR ALL” What a joke, and a downright lie. I attended high school in Kona long before this particular school was even built — I graduated almost 40 years ago. Kill Haole day was quite popular. I was one of the few in the school so I spent more time at the vice principal’s office, under his protection, than I did in class. All you had to do was look at a local in what they thought was the wrong way and they’d threaten to kick your okole. What is most amazing is that most of the kids had very little Hawaiian in them. . .their families immigrated from other places just like mine did. But that faint cast of brown to their skin made them feel they fit in more than me. Sad to hear it’s still going on.

      • http://twitter.com/OriginalRosie Rosie

        I’d never heard of Kill Haole Day. So I guess it wasn’t as prevalent 20 years ago as it was 40 years ago. Derision, yes. Out and out violence, not as much.

    …so a story about racial tension and fights gives no details at all about which races were fighting and what they were fighting over?

    So can I assume this is brown on brown fighting going on? Because if it was white kids beating up black kids you’d have no problem coming out and saying that.

    Political correctness goes even more wild….

    Hey, you’ve let the Samoan kids get away with whatever they want to do for the last forty plus years! Kill whitey day, the first day of spring (where 2 students have sex in public out in front of the school), and numerous other things.
    Hawaiian public schools have been failing their students for a long time. This is nothing new, except maybe that this newspaper is reporting it.

    When the media and officials tell you they don’t know what caused a massive school riot, you immediately know three things.

    One, they damn well DO know the cause. Lots of little fracases over several days are a prelude to a big orgasm of violence. Everyone sees it coming.

    Two, only non-whites are involved. If whites were involved they would be openly blamed.

    Three, it’s tribal warfare — one of the most natural things in the world.

    Barry is downsizing the military. Do you think we really need HI anymore? I wonder how much it is costing us subsidizing paradise? Perhaps we could sell it to the chinese to pay off some of the debt. And if were no longer a state, there would be no arguement about O being a legal president. We could solve 2 problems with one deal.

  • Rocky Rococo

    One important thing that all of you living there should realize is that this behavior is learned. The lessons are brought to your young people by BET, MTV, VHI, and all those seemingly ‘innocuous’ video games that you let your children play for hours on end to keep them out of your hair. Now, this is what you have. Live with it. And, be sure to criticize all your churches, teachers, and otherwise decent folk who warned you about this.

  • Kealakehe Students

    As a student who was ACTUALLY there yesterday, I’d like to say that the whole thing is being down-played and that the principal is trying to cover everything up. It was a massive mob fight between the Micronesians and everyone else. All ethnicities were involved and every male student was part of it. There were several HUNDRED students involved and everyone was try to hit everyone they could. No one mentioned that there was a video of a small white boy walking by and getting punched in the head and almost strangled. There are many videos showing just how bad and dangerous it was. The head of security was punched in the face. Although only eight students were arrested, there were many more that we’re handcuffed and then released. People were waiting all day for it to happen and the school only had 3 police men there that did absolutely nothing. The whole thing blew up all over Facebook, yet the school did nothing to try and stop the situation from happening. The school did not protect the students and the racial tension will continue.
