💨 Abstract

Tennessee legislators are considering a bill that would require proof of legal residence to enroll in public K-12 schools and allow schools to either turn away students who fail to provide documentation or charge them tuition. The bill contradicts a 1982 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Plyler v. Doe, which established the constitutional right to free public education for children, regardless of immigration status.
