The requirement that public schools teach all children was affirmed by a 1982 ruling in a case known as Plyler v.
, which has resulted in state troopers arresting migrants on trespassing charges and thousands of National Guard members stationed on the border.
On Wednesday, a conservative talk radio host asked Abbott what he could do about the costs of educating children living in the U.S. without legal authorization, describing it as a burden on local districts. It is unclear how many such students there are or the costs, as Texas does not track citizenship in classrooms."I think we will resurrect that case and challenge this issue again," Abbott said.
Asked again about it Thursday, Abbott said the crux of the argument would be that the federal government should foot the bill amidHoffman said Texas made those same economic arguments in the Plyler case and was rejected by the court.
