Conservative Activists Take Aim At Native Hawaiian Health Scholarship

A decades-old federal program designed to put Native Hawaiian doctors and nurses to work in some of Hawaiʻi’s most underserved communities has become the target of national conservative activists whose stated mission is to “expose political bias and discrimination in healthcare and medical education.”
Do No Harm, an advocacy group based in Utah, filed a federal lawsuit last week against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services arguing that its Native Hawaiian Health Scholarship Program is unconstitutional because it discriminates based on an applicant’s race and ethnicity.
Among those claiming they’ve been harmed is a white nursing student who says she was barred from applying for the scholarship because she is not Native Hawaiian.
Conservative activists are targeting Native Hawaiian programs and institutions in federal lawsuits they say are aimed at ending racial discrimination.
