'Pathetic' and 'Racist': Critics Slam Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's Stance on Educating Undocumented Students
But before long, Abbott hinted that he wants to up the far-right ante. He said Texas may pursue a challenge to another Supreme Court decision, 1982's Plyler v. Doe, which prevents states from withholding education from certain children,“I think we will resurrect that case and challenge this issue again, because the expenses are extraordinary and the times are different than when Plyler v.
Moreno warned that removing access to education will create an underclass of Americans. That could lead to lower literacy rates, plus fewer workforce opportunities and taxpayer dollars. “That’s really dangerous, because I think all children have the right to learn and be useful members of society,” she said.
If Abbott gets what he’s proposing, it would impede schools across the state and give the green light for bigoted adults to, he said. Even students who are here legally could have to answer for it, based on their accent or skin color.Education paves the way for children to grow into productive adults who benefit society, something the Supreme Court had previously understood, Capo continued. It’s also a sound economic move because it gives Texas and the country a competitive edge.
Political rivals and other critics took to social media on Thursday to condemn Abbott, including the Texas House Democratic Caucus. In a tweet, they slammed the governor's proposal as part of a series of attacks on undocumented immigrants.
