The Facts of Plyler v. Doe:
In May of 1975 the Texas legislature passed a law which withheld state funds to
school districts which educated children who were not legally admitted into the
United States. Local school districts were authorized to deny enrollment to
children not legally admitted into the US. A class action suit was filed on
behalf of school-age Mexican children arguing that the Texas law violated the
equal protection clause of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.
