I removed a (referenced) section about a former teacher who was arrested recently in a different state for having sexual relations with teenagers. Although it is a substantiated claim and qualifies as a scandal, its relevance to this article is questionable. Unless any of the behaviors can be linked to (referenced) behaviors while the teacher was affiliated with the school, it does not belong in this article. This is the second "scandal" I've removed from this article. The first had something to do with cheating on exams (or something like that). Again, while this is somewhat scandalous, especially within the school's own community, whether or not it is notable is debatable. Every school has its discipline issues; few of these issues belong in an encyclopedic article about the schools. Please, let's keep things as NPOV as possible.

I restored the Alma Mater that LibStar deleted. The reason given for the LibStar deletion was that the Alma Mater was "not required". This is not a valid basis for removing significant information that is commonly recognized to communicate a school's identity. It is also invalid as a basis because other things may not be required, like school mascot, school colors or motto, but are not deleted for the claimed arbitrary reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Opukahaia808 ( talk • contribs) 10:27, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

The section on "Scandals" should be deleted because it contains at least one factual inaccuracy. I do notice that this has been discussed on this talk page, and there is disagreement over its relevance or importance to a Wikipedia page about a private high school. The two scandals described do not have much relevance to the school's history or current profile. Their inclusion on the Wikipedia page magnifies the incidents unfairly. Furthermore, Jack Duffer was never the Christian Ministries Director; he was only a part-time Bible teacher. His criminal behavior was all done long after he left the school. The President of the school giving a quote about his shock over the matter does not make Duffer's crimes and arrest relevant to the school's history.
All private high schools have had "scandals." No other major private school in Hawaii has a Scandals section -- not because those schools don't have any past controversies -- but because there is a general understanding that many controversies that schools go through should not be highlighted or mentioned in a public page about a local, private high school. If the "scandals" mentioned are ongoing issues, then that's another thing. But both of those were isolated incidents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HSMT2002 ( talk • contribs) 20:28, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
