Plyler v. Doe
Book • 1983
Plyler v.
Doe is a 1982 Supreme Court case that prohibits states from denying free public education to undocumented immigrant children.
The Court reasoned that undocumented children are people “in any ordinary sense of the term” and possess constitutional rights under the Fourteenth Amendment.
Denying children access to education would produce a “discrete underclass” of people, negatively impacting individuals and society.
This ruling ensures equal educational opportunities regardless of immigration status, promoting social integration and equal protection under the law.
