On June 15, 1982, the Supreme Court made a landmark decision in Plyler v. Doe, affirming that denying children access to public education based on immigration status violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution.
The Court made clear: a child’s immigration status alone is not a valid reason to deny them the opportunity to learn. There was no substantial state interest that justified excluding these students from public education.
This decision wasn’t just legal, it was foundational. Plyler affirmed that education is a right that must be protected for all children.

As National Foster Care Month concludes, All4Ed CEO Amy Loyd reflects on why this work is personal to her — and why supporting students in foster care requires more than policy alone.
Too many young people face repeated school moves, disrupted relationships, and barriers to opportunity. Our schools and systems must be ready to help every student connect, belong, and thrive.
