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.
