Plyler v. Doe

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard that every child has the right to go to school, no matter where they come from or if they are in the United States legally or not? That's what we call education rights.

But back in 1982, some schools in Texas didn't let kids who were not in the United States legally go to school. This means that even if they wanted to learn and study, they couldn't. This was a big problem because education is important for everyone.

So, some people took this case to court, and the case was called Plyler v. Doe. The Supreme Court, which is the highest court in the United States, had to decide whether or not it was okay for schools to do this.

In the end, the Supreme Court said that schools couldn't kick out kids who were not in the United States legally. They said it was unfair and that all kids should have the right to learn, no matter where they are from. And that's why Plyler v. Doe is an important case, because it helped protect the education rights of all kids, no matter their legal status.
