All children in the United States, regardless of immigration or citizenship status, have a right to a free and appropriate public education. ~Tony Thurmond, State Superintendent of Public Instruction
ransomnote: Newsom is in a tight corner given he seems to have presidential aspirations. He's in clear violation of so many Federal immigration laws and funding is being cut out from under his feet. Illegals account for massive amounts of medical, housing, education expenses and the shell game in California used to pretend that CA state funds pay for it all is falling apart. Wildfires used to be lucrative; Trump doesn't play that game. So I guess it is no surprise Newsom is suing Trump now; what else does he have to try to escape justice?
Below is a link to an excerpt of a section of the CA education code which states that attempts by Charter Schools to distribute enrollment access to students in overfilled school conditions fairly,
shall not result in limiting enrollment access for pupils with disabilities, academically low-achieving pupils, English learners, neglected or delinquent pupils, homeless pupils, or pupils who are economically disadvantaged, as determined by eligibility for any free or reduced-price meal program, foster youth, or pupils based on nationality, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.
I included a larger portion of the text below just for reference in case anyone wants more context.

(B) If the number of pupils who wish to attend the charter school exceeds the charter school's capacity, attendance, except for existing pupils of the charter school, shall be determined by a public random drawing. Preference shall be extended to pupils currently attending the charter school and pupils who reside in the school district except as provided for in Section 47614.5. Preferences, including, but not limited to, siblings of pupils admitted or attending the charter school and children of the charter school's teachers, staff, and founders identified in the initial charter, may also be permitted by the chartering authority on an individual charter school basis. Priority order for any preference shall be determined in the charter petition in accordance with all of the following:
(i) Each type of preference shall be approved by the chartering authority at a public hearing.
(ii) Preferences shall be consistent with federal law, the California Constitution, and Section 200.
(iii) Preferences shall not result in limiting enrollment access for pupils with disabilities, academically low-achieving pupils, English learners, neglected or delinquent pupils, homeless pupils, or pupils who are economically disadvantaged, as determined by eligibility for any free or reduced-price meal program, foster youth, or pupils based on nationality, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.
Only for those who are going through the process of naturalization.
No immigrant is even involved in this case...
An illegal/criminal migrant invader is being kicked out of the country as ICE must carry out...
Again, he is not now, and has never been, an immigrant...
Immigrants.
NOT illegals.
p
First, the above needs to be changed.
The children of illegals have a right to be educated in their own home countries. They do not have a right to be educated in the US. Home counties should be charged for the full costs involved in schooling these childfen until they and their parents can be deported.
