Family suing Kamehameha Schools over admissions policy are getting threats, seek anonymity
The family faces intense harassment including online death threats and mailed abuse, prompting their request for anonymity to protect their careers and the daughter's education.
- B.P., the mother plaintiff, and I.P., the daughter plaintiff, asked to proceed under initials in their lawsuit against Kamehameha Schools due to threats, filed in October by SFFA.
- Students for Fair Admissions' founder Ed Blum says the backlash from the lawsuit, which challenged a 140-year policy, has been ferocious, including threats and harassment, according to court filings.
- Jesse Franklin-Murdock says his home address was posted online and he received a feces-like package, prompting him to report the incident to the FBI, amid threats and harassment.
- In a motion filed last week, KS asked the federal court to require I.P. and B.P. to proceed under their real names or drop the case, as the court has not set a hearing yet.
- Framed by KS as a fight for resources meant for Native Hawaiian children, the case raises public-interest questions, with prior admissions cases producing mixed anonymity rulings and SFFA lawyers arguing exposing the family could punish them if KS wins early dismissal.
