New York Tells Schools to Stop Harassing Immigrant Students
New York Tells Schools to Stop Harassing Immigrant Students
ColorLines
by Julianne Hing
New York’s State Education Department issued a memo to its schools last week reminding them that they should not be forcing families to produce proof of their immigration status for their child’s enrollment in school.
Kirk Semple reports for the New York Times that the state distributed the memo after the New York Civil Liberties Union reported that at least 20 percent of the New York school districts were demanding children’s immigration papers before they could get into school.

According to the NYCLU, they couldn’t find evidence that kids had been turned away if they were unable to produce paperwork—though even asking families for proof of their immigration status can often be threat enough that families may keep their kids out of school. The memo was sent out after months of pressure from the civil rights group.
New York’s Education Department takes the time to remind their educators about students’ basic civil rights, with a little history lesson:
Undocumented children, like U.S. citizen children, have the right to attend school full time as long as they meet the age and residency requirements established by state law. In a 1982 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court recognized that children who are undocumented immigrants cannot be denied a free public education if they are, as a factual matter, district residentsJoin our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & to secure US borders by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn

Just a trial balloon
Equal rights clause
Since most of them don't pay taxes , yet they get benefits payed for by taxpayers?
Where is the "equal"?
Also residency ? ,
Also how exactly do they deal with shot record histories?
THIS BS HAS TO STOP

i can see a huge loop hole that the schools can use to keep the illegal immigrant children out ....
they have to determine their age right ? well in order to do so , they would need legal identification , otherwise how can they determine their age ?
