This is sickening.  When my youngest son was in public school in kindergarten in a supposedly 'blue ribbon' school I witnessed abuse by the teacher, reported it, and was asked to never return to the school.  I didn't and neither did my son.  Absolutely sickening that the DOE hires this staff, supports them  and then covers up any abuse and this kind of educational environment.  It is criminal.  The DOE should be put in the hands of a receivership while it is being completely investigated and overhauled, and every single senior educator ever involved in or overseeing such incidence should be banned from ever being allowed to educate Hawaii's youth.  Ever.
