It’s heartening to see 22 state attorneys general — including Hawaii’s — challenge the Federal Communications Commission’s misguided rollback of net neutrality. The coalition filed a petition to the U.S. Court of Appeals on Tuesday, launching a lawsuit against the FCC and the federal government.

Last month the FCC approved a Trump administration-endorsed plan that clears the way for internet service providers to charge users more to see certain content and restrict access to some websites. The coalition’s aim to stop the rollback and preserve the internet’s role as a forum for free speech as well as its uniform treatment of all consumers is a worthy fight.

Welcoming students from afar to ‘Iolani

‘Iolani School continues to nurture its international brand by breaking ground on its new residence hall for foreign as well as neighbor island boarders.

Among its most celebrated graduates was an international student: Sun Yat-sen, “father of modern China,” who studied there 1879-1882. Sen was said to have internalized Western culture from his ‘Iolani years.

Surely Hawaiian sensibilities influenced him as well. One of Sen’s sayings was “All things under the sky are for all of us.” That sounds like Hawaii — where natural resources are seen as riches in the public domain.
