Thread: Illegal men(age23 & 30) playing high school sports for y

In 1982 U.S. Supreme Court case Plyler v Doe, the court ruled that public schools and school personnel could not adopt policies or take actions to deny students access to education based on immigration status. Publilc schools can not inquire about a student's immigration status, including requiring documentation of a student's legal status. (Naples Daily News June 2, 2006) The FHSAA has now learned of illegal men who have been attending a high school and participating in it's sports program for 3 or 4 years. The men in question used false IDs to gain entrance into the high school and because of the above ruling, police and school officials can not investigate until some law/rule is broken. People are sensing that there may be many more illegal adult men/women in America's high schools participating on sports teams and possibly endangering students. Schools don't really know the real ages, real names, or possible criminal backgrounds of their illegal students.

This has been going on in CA since the early 70s. We had an immigrant "student" who played on our soccer team at the Jr high school I attended. This guy was the biggest "kid" in school and was allowed to participate in the soccer practice matches while wearing heavy boots. He would time and again "power" kick the ball at the heads of other players as well as kick them by "accident". He spoke no English so no amount or warnings from the coaches stopped him. Finally it was rumored that he was in his mid to late 20s and he left soon after. This guy enjoyed hurting 11 and 12 year old kids.
