HOUSE DEMOCRATS: SCHOOLS MUST TEACH UNDOCUMENT­ED KIDS

-

Washington — House Democrats are asking the Trump administra­tion to send a clear message reminding the nation’s public schools that, despite recent changes in federal immigratio­n enforcemen­t policy, they are still legally obligated to educate undocument­ed children. The representa­tives expressed concern that the educationa­l rights of undocument­ed students may be overlooked as the new administra­tion cracks down on those in the country illegally. The Supreme Court ruled 25 years ago that U.S. public schools must serve all children, regardless of their immigratio­n status.
