These "students" should also be pushing for the elimination of King Kamehameha Day here in Hawaii.  No more ruthless, murderous, and terroristic man ever lived.  Here is a man that slaughtered tens of thousands of men, women, and children across the islands with unequal technology (guns and cannon) in order to steal the entire Island chain all for himself.  He killed family members, sacrificed his enemies, enslaved the population, and stopped at nothing to control the once independent Polynesian populations of the islands. 
Do they have Hitler Day in Germany, or Stalin Day in Russia?  Since we are going to "heal" let's get real about Kamehameha.
Dole brought Democracy to Hawaii, and eliminated a flawed form of government that had become corrupt, illegitimate, and unrepresentative of ALL the citizens of Hawaii. The Republic of Hawaii Constitution clearly shows this.  The real effect of the change in the form of government was empowerment of the Polynesian citizens in Hawaii.
