Ping for your standard responses.

As in, you want it posted (it takes a fair bit of work to put together)?

Interesting that the Big Perfesser at Yew-T points to Plyler V. Doe as somehow deciding the issue of citizenship. Hadn't heard that joke yet.

I don't know anything about PvD.

I've seen you post it so many times, I would have thought by now you did a cut'n'paste!

Plyler was the 1982 Supreme Court decision that asserted that public education must be given to all regardless of 'status'. This was in opposition to a Tyler, Texas law requiring citizenship to attend public schools in the Tyler school system. Asserting that it confers citizenship through an oblique mechanism is almost hilarious, especially considering that being born in the U.S. was never an element of the case. If we buy that argument from this "professor", then I guess we can amend the 14th to say "all persons who happen to attend primary school in the United States are citizens" and point to some tortured logic for that.
