Opinions: Will the public education right of the children’s constitution take advantage of the public?
Immigration children are facing a new form of bullying: the Trump administration and its allies are trying to scare them away from school.
One of the first actions of the Trump Department of Homeland Security is Discard the core constraint About immigration law enforcement. For decades, the Democratic and Republican Government has complied with formal and formal policies in the memorandum. These policies have limited immigration law enforcement in so -called sensitive places: churches, hospitals, day care and schools. But the day after the inauguration ceremony, the new government gave up the protection of raids and arrests.
Now, California legislators are strengthening the state’s fortress to prevent immigration and customs law enforcement and government strategies. California has already prohibit Public schools collect immigration information about students and families, as well as December, State MPs Introduce bill Further asked the school and Nicho to refuse to agree to enter the ICE without judicial arrest. Another billIntroduced in late January, the school’s emergency notification system will remind students and parents of immigration officials.
State law can slow down, but they cannot surpass federal law. Even if you refuse to enter, ICE can wait or raid on campus or in a football game. according to estimate From the Immigration Policy Research Institute, about 5 million children in the United States live together with at least one -proof of parents, and they may transform the school’s decline into deporting board. (Not to say that the Trump administration can, let alone summon Tens of billions Large -scale immigration arrest required for the US dollar.
The end of the “sensitive place” policy has nothing to do with necessity. Vice President Jd Vance (JD Vance) closely grasped the wisdom of horror students on the ice Call for Branman A “violent murderer in the school”. However, the previous policy has allowed ICE to be arrested in schools and elsewhere under emergencies, or when its officers have no choice.
What is the point? In most cases, the fear of toughness and sowing in immigrants. Of course, part of the goal is self -extended.
In terms of intimidation, some states and local jurisdictions are ahead of the Ministry of Homeland Security. Require Prove that new students are legal residents. Oklahoma Education Commission just voted Require Parents and statutory guardians “provide proof of citizenship when entering school.” Such a requirement may take a clock for the Californians: similar monitoring and immigration education limitations are the core Proposition 187The 1994 voting measures promoted by Republicans are usually Due to death Republican Party in the state.
Proposition 187 No judicial reviewEssence There are no similar laws Alabama 2012Essence Both are frustrated by Plyler’s sue DOE-The Supreme Court case in 1982 established the constitutional rights of equality to obtain public education, regardless of immigration status.
But the current court has shown its willingness to reverse long -term precedents, including Overthrow ROE vs. WadeEssence so Conservative Heritage Foundation Urges other states and regions to follow the leaders of Oklahoma and Sogs, and hope that the Supreme Court will Consider Plyler.
Ryan Walter, the principal of the Oklahoma school, regards his attack on immigration children and “asylum schools” like many people, like many people. He demands to reimburse Education immigration children from the federal government.
Plyler’s decision did not use this logic. In this case, Texas believes that its resources are too thin due to immigrant students. However, the court pointed out that unauthorized immigrants “donated to the local economic and levied taxes to the state.” Moreover, it is said that the savings of Texas’s sought “In view of the cost of these children, the costs involved in the country and the country are” this is “this is” this is “this is” There is no substantialness at all. “
Plyler’s holding is as applicable as 40 years ago today, but the court is not the only institution that can stand up for students. California legislators should pass legislation to further protect the school from ICE invasion. Local schools can also help directly Protect their communityEssence There is a compulsory plan in Los Angeles Unified School District Teacher training, it will provide parents with a “understand your right” cardEssence Although these efforts are unable to completely prevent school arrests, school staff can provide tools for family tools to support themselves and the community.
Educational leaders must also speak loudly. Former California Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye was appointed or promoted by three different Republican governors Alarm Among Trump’s first government, the court of Binglu “followed” court court was instilling the fear of victims and witnesses, which endured judicial management. When public education is also harmful, we need to hear the letter from school leaders.
Surveillance and tracking destroyed children’s education. When the school no longer feel safe, attendance and study suffering. Children, local births and newcomers should not sacrifice Lu CK’s immigration law enforcement. The state and localities must fulfill their constitution and moral authorization to educate all students, even if this means to grasp the president.
