Supporting Children of Immigrant Families

Millions of young people in the United States are children of immigrant families. And many immigrant children feel high levels of fear and anxiety right now due to the current anti-immigrant political environment. All students in the U.S. have a right to public education, “regardless of a child’s or guardian’s citizenship, immigration status, or English language proficiency. These rights were upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in its landmark 1982 decision in Plyler v. Doe.” Learn more about immigrant students’ rights, public schools’ obligations to immigrant students, and resources for families. Help protect all our children.
