What about the case in Hawaii? I didn't include it in the column because it is only superficially similar, but in Hawaii native children are automatically accepted into the private school system. However, other students not of Hawaiian origin must apply and most don't get in. Why is that racial enrollment system upheld while the ones in Louisville are being questioned? It seems to me that the Hawaiian system stands as a much larger example of "state-sponsored racism." The Louisville system just attempts to maintain diversity, an honorable goal in my mind.
