The 35th anniversary of the Plyler v. Doe: A Discussion of Plyler at the University of Houston Law Center

On June 27, 2017, the University of Houston Law Center celebrated the 35th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Plyler v. Doe (1982) with a panel discussion hosted by the Institute for Higher Education Law & Governance and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund.  Watch the discussion on the video above. 

In Plyer v. Doe, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated a Texas law that effectively barred undocumented students from the public K-12 schools.
