In reply to Nicholas Paizis. The article at the link mentions one telescope, with discussions beginning to figure out the others.

Any idea which telescope(s) will have to go to reduce the number?

Of course, that’s the end of it. There won’t be any subsequent requests for additional items or funds.

Except naming.

And ceremonies.

And totems.

And tolls on the access road.

And a museum on site.

If I recall from a previous post, the agitators stated that White people ‘don’t have a culture’ (or words similar). Oh, but we do. Our history and culture is pushing back the bounds of ignorance. Remind me: first contact between Polynesians and Europeans was initiated by whom?

It sucks that these programs are not open to other kids who live in Hawaii but don’t happen to be native. The goal should be to improve the education of all the local children. And why do they go even further and give greater preference by island?

More anti-white nonsense, fostered during the presidency of the most divisive man to serves as President since Lincoln. The ‘white privilege’ assault in its early days as we spiral downhill, the bottom still a long way off.

Clever move by the governor. Expand the budget for education probably using some Federal dollars. Placate the “natives” with a little cash and a token sense of power. Push the larger issue down the road for the next governor to deal with. Assure the money still flows into the state (from the mainland) for the project. I wonder who the local contractors will be?
