A conservative Supreme Court could threaten the education of immigrant students
“When we think of what’s at stake in education with the impending conservative swing of the Supreme Court, I bet most would say, ‘Affirmative action.’ But there’s another case that may soon become top of mind for us: the 1982 case of Plyler v.
