Tyler, Texas
1975
Under the leadership of James Plyler, the Tyler Independent School District begins charging $1,000 a year for unauthorized immigrant students to attend school there. It had justified this decision by a recent Texas law that said it wouldn’t use taxpayer money to educate students who were not “legally admitted” into the United States. Not only that, the law said school districts could deny students enrollment if their parents couldn’t prove they were legal citizens.
And that’s exactly what the Tyler Independent School District started doing. In fact, in 1977 it began kicking kids out of school if they didn’t have United States birth certificates.
In response, four families affected by this new policy sued the school district. The district court, which, in order to protect their privacy identified them using pseudonyms, decided that the kids should be allowed to go to school and found both the state law and the school district’s policy unconstitutional. They argued the law and policy went against the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. The school district appealed, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit agreed with the lower court.
The district appealed to the Supreme Court, and the Court agreed to hear the case, combining it with a similar case, weirdly called Texas v. Certain Named and Unnamed Alien Child. By golly that could be a great band name, come to think of it.
Anyway, the Court heard oral arguments on December 1, 1981. The Court had a difficult time with this one, and wouldn’t announce its decision until June 15, 1982. In a 5-4 decision, they sided with the families, and struck down the Texas law that withheld funds from educating students who were illegal aliens. The Court argued that illegal aliens and their children, even though they weren’t citizens were still people, who deserved the same rights as protected under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Because they viewed education as a right, and because they weren’t hurting the state that much by going to school, the Court said these students should be able to go.
Leading the dissent was Justice Burger, who argued it wasn’t the judicial system’s place to solve this issue, but that it ought to be solved through the legislative process. This might surprise some, but the dissent actually said these kids should be able to go to school. They just argued the Constitution didn’t allow them to decide on this.
With all the debate today about DACA, or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, the immigration policy that lets the children of illegal aliens not get kicked out of the country among other things, Plyler v. Doe is an extremely relevant case. Today, school administrators in K-12 public schools can’t even ask about a child’s immigration status. Notice how I said K-12. Post secondary schools can still have restrictions based on citizenship status.
Years later, James Plyler, the superintendent who fought these families who wanted their undocumented kids to attend school, who in fact this case was named after, changed his mind. On the 25th anniversary of the decision, in 2007, Plyler said that Texas law that withheld funds from educating students who were illegal aliens “would have been one of the worst things to happen in education - they’d cost more not being educated. Right after we let those youngsters in, I was pleased.”

Slavery - Crash Course US History #13
In which John Green teaches you about America's peculiar institution, slavery. I wouldn't really call it peculiar. I'd lean more toward horrifying and depressing institution, but nobody asked me. John will talk about what life was like for a slave in the 19th century United States, and how slaves resisted oppression, to the degree that was possible. We'll hear about cotton plantations, violent punishment of slaves, day to day slave life, and slave rebellions. Nat Turner, Harriet Tubman, and Whipped Peter all make an appearance. Slavery as an institution is arguably the darkest part of America's history, and we're still dealing with its aftermath 150 years after it ended. Support CrashCourse on Patreon:

Frederick Glaysher
Reading at the ROBERT HAYDEN CENTENNIAL CONFERENCE AND POETRY TRIBUTE, November 1, 2013, from my epic poem The Parliament of Poets.
Rackham Amphitheatre -- Fourth Floor. The Rackham Graduate School. The University of Michigan. 10:00AM -- 5:00PM. 915 E Washington St, Ann Arbor, MI 48109.
The Department of English at the University of Michigan has announced plans for a one-day conference on November 1, 2013 in honor of Robert Hayden, the distinguished poet and educator who received an M.A. degree from the University of Michigan in 1944 and returned to teach at the university in 1970 as Professor of English until his death in 1980.
Hayden has emerged as a major figure in American literary history. He is the leader, along with Gwendolyn Brooks, of the generation of African American poets that emerged in the 1940s to achieve widespread critical attention and a massive presence in anthologies and textbooks. He served as poetry consultant to the Library of Congress (the position now known as Poet Laureate of the United States) from 1976-1978. The U.S. Post Office issued a postage stamp in 2012 to honor his achievement.
The keynote address of the conference, to be held in the Rackham Amphitheater, will be delivered by Harryette Mullen, Professor of English and Creative Writing at UCLA, a Guggenheim Fellow (among other honors), and a finalist for the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award. Her volume of essays and interviews, The Cracks Between What We Are and What We Are Supposed to Be, appeared in 2012.
Professor Mullen will be introduced by A. Van Jordan of the U-M faculty. A panel discussion in early afternoon will include Mullen, Linda Gregerson (of the U-M faculty), Lawrence Joseph, a Detroit native and the preeminent Arab-American poet of our time, and Frederick Glaysher, editor of Hayden's Collected Poems and Collected Prose. Robert Hayden is a character in Glaysher's recently published epic poem, The Parliament of Poets. Laurence Goldstein, Professor of English and co-editor (with Robert Chrisman) of Robert Hayden: Essays on the Poetry (University of Michigan Press, 2001), will serve as panel moderator.
In late afternoon, MFA students will read from and speak about Hayden's poems, along with other participants in the conference.
Timetable:
10 a.m. Keynote address by Harryette Mullen
12-1:30 p.m. Lunch at various restaurants around campus
1:30-3:00 p.m. Panel discussion
3:00-5:00 p.m. Readings and remarks by audience members
