Why Illegal Immigrants Can Attend Public School | Plyler v. Doe

The video discusses the Plyler v. Doe case, where Tyler ISD charged unauthorized immigrant students $1000 to attend school, justified by a Texas law. Families sued, and courts found the policy unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment. The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of the families, affirming that all children deserve equal protection and education rights. The case remains relevant today, especially in discussions about DACA. James Plyler, initially against the students, later reflected positively on the decision.
