Plyler vs Doe

             "A U.S. district judge issued a preliminary injunction requiring Tyler to admit all students and required the state education board to release funds to the Tyler school district for all students. In 1978, that judge found both the state law and Tyler's policy unconstitutional, holding that they violated the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause." 
              The Article is saying in this quote, that The U.S Court  made  a landmark decision holding that the states cannot constitutionally prohibit students from obtaining a free public education because of their immigration status. The Tyler school district was required to admit all students. Later in 1978, The Tyler policy and State law to charge students for free public education was found to be contrary to the U.S constitution and violation of the 14thAmendment.
               In my opinion it was a great decision. This means a lot to me and my family. I am grateful and happy that children will not be denied  an education because of their immigration status.2004 my Island was in devastation from hurricane Ivan, lots of schools was destroyed and homes as well and lots of children was unable to attend school. thanks to the U.S Court decision and the 14th amendment my cousins were able to relocate here at age of 5 and complete their education all the way up to 12th grade for free.
