United States Government Final Project Individual Essay Alexander Celeste / March 2010 In the Plyler v. Doe case, argued on December 1st, 1981, the Supreme Court was to decide if Texas can deny to undocumented school-age children the free public education that it provides to children who are citizens of the United States or legally admitted aliens. “The more difficult question is whether the Equal Protection Clause has been violated by the refusal of the State of Texas to reimburse local school boards for the education of children who cannot demonstrate that their presence within the United States is lawful, or by the imposition by the school boards of the burden of tuition on those children. It is to this question that we now turn.” On June 15th, 1982 they held that this Texas law was unconstitutional, hence they affirmed the judgement of the Court of Appeals. I agree whole-heartedly with the majority on this decision. Appellants argued that undocumented aliens, because of their immigration status, are not “persons within the jurisdiction” of the State of Texas, and that they therefore have no right to the equal protection of Texas law.

Comments on obtaining recognition through state legislation: We contacted the following people about the Texas legislation that grants statewide recognition to ASL: Dr. Marietta L. Yeates, Professor, Stephen F. Austin State University Dr. Sherman Wilcox, Associate Professor of Linguistics, University of New Mexico Marietta L. Yeates, Professor in the Deaf/Hard of Hearing Program at Stephen F. Austin State University, explained that Stephen F. Austin’s recognition of ASL preceded the statewide legislation. The university passed measures internally to grant recognition and then revised its curriculum to reflect the fact that ASL was officially a foreign language. Sherman Wilcox, co-author of Learning to See: Teaching American Sign Language as a Second Language and Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of New Mexico, cautioned us about attempting to recognize ASL through state legislation. He reminded us that “universities cherish their independence” and that politicians attempting to mandate changes in the curriculum often meet resistance from universities. He suggested that seeking recognition internally (by revising university policy) would be a logical first step and perhaps a more effective way of obtaining recognition.

Yoder case decided in 1972 by the U.S. Supreme Court, which held that Amish children could be exempted from compulsory school-attendance beyond the 8th grade; the Amish (see under Mennonites ) community's interest in maintaining a simple way of life, which it saw threatened by higher education, outweighed the state's interest in schooling through the 10th grade. The Supreme Court had not previously exempted religious groups from such laws, and it stressed that the 300-year Amish tradition was crucial to its decision. The Supreme Court also took into consideration that these children would be continuing there education in the Amish community. The Amish do not object to elementary education through the first eight grades as a general proposition because they do agree that their children must have basic skills. They need to know how to read, write and do arithmetic this will help them to be good farmers and be able to deal with non-Amish people.
