You are stating a logical contradiction. We cannot be denied our constitutional rights because they are constitutional rights. They are an entitlement. Saying you cannot be denied a public education is not anything at all like saying your are entitled.

Look at it this way. The fact is that nobody is entitled to a public education. Public education is not a civil right. As long as public education exists there are civil rights associated with public education. But, for example, if your child cannot conduct themselves properly in school so that they are a constant disruption, they can be removed from school and nobody's civil rights are infringed. If you are an illegal immigrant and you send your children to public school, then this would also qualify as a disruption, there is grounds for removal right there.
