Protecting Undocumented Student Access to K-12 Public School

In the 114th General Assembly, Tennessee lawmakers have filed three bills
designed to challenge a constitutional and long-standing legal precedent
that guarantees all children living in the United States access to free
public school, regardless of documentation status. The U.S. Supreme Court
upheld this fundamental right in Plyler v. Doe, institutionalizing a
practice that has been in place for more than 150 years. If any of these
bills pass and provoke a successful legal challenge to Plyler, students
across the country will be denied access to K-12 public education.
Decisions this legislative session in Tennessee will determine the future
of public education access in the United States for hundreds of thousands
of children.
