5-7 pagesThe Supreme Court has been faced with determining who is protected under the 14th amendment in many different ways. In the case of Plyler v. Doe 457 U.S. 202 (1982) the Court was asked to determine if Texas education law, prohibiting funding for schools providing services to undocumented children, violated the Equal Protection clause of the 14th amendment.

Please read this case carefully and answer the following questions in your posts.

1. How did the court rationalize extending the protections of the 14th amendment to undocumented children?
2. How does the Court's rationale here compare with their rationale in Brown?
3. Do you agree or disagree with the Court's approach? Please explain very specifically how you come to your conclusions. Think like a lawyer!!
4. Does your answer to number 3 reflect any of your personally held beliefs about migrants? Consider as well current debates about immigration as well as what you read in the Dahl text for Modules 1 and 2.
