From the KHON piece: "Adults trying to intervene are being assaulted." Sounds like this has gone beyond the point where parent volunteers (unless they are MMA practitioners) would do any good.
About five to seven years ago we heard this sort of story all the time in reference to Keaau High. That problem went away when they finally removed the principal who at one point used "cultural sensitivity" as an excuse not to crack down on ethnic mini-gangs. (In keeping with the fine tradition of our unionized schools, I think that incompetent individual was reassigned rather than fired.) Could school leadership be an issue at Pahoa?
