"Supreme Court's Plyler Ruling Faces New Challenge: Should Undocumented Children Remain Eligible for Public Education? A recent statement from a prominent advocate has sparked debate over the long-standing Plyler v. Doe decision, which guarantees the right to a free public education for undocumented immigrant children in the United States. The ruling, issued in 1982, has been a cornerstone of immigration policy and a key factor in promoting educational equality. As the country grapples with the complexities of immigration reform, a re-examination of Plyler's implications raises questions about the potential consequences of overturning this landmark decision."


There are no good reasons — legal, educational, economic or moral — to overturn Plyler.
