The majority of the HB-3681 is produced to assist citizens, it isn’t purposefully trying to harm schools. The majority of schools are benefiting from HB-3681 and it should not remain as an experiment. The benefits of choosing your own school district should be directly put in the constitution, no one should have the right to keep you from reaching your final destination in your life besides yourself. No school shall ever keep you hostage in their cell thanks to this law which the congress have permitted. You are now the only person who can stop you from achieving your goals in life, no school prohibit you to achieve your dreams. The HB-3681 law may have constructed mixed appeals; however, in the end the only reason we have school are because of children--the future of our world. If we restrict our children to choose where they will attend school and perhaps receive an education which is invalid we are only ruining our own future. A school shouldn’t prohibit a child from leaving their district if it is their own desire, no one wants nothing in life. Everyone has a objective they’d like to see themselves complete one day. If we blockade our own children from an education they are trying to receive, we are nothing but a bunch of selfish fools who have no motive but to sabotage our own

Although Lau v. Nichols had a positive impact on the education of non-English-speaking students, the Supreme Court stopped short of making revisions that would force school district to reexamine the school board’s illegal practices. The Supreme Court didn’t give the SFUSD a clear directive regarding provisions of specific programs that would satisfy Section 601 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This shortcoming keeps the debate alive as to whether or not appropriate programs for non-English-speaking students have been implemented correctly throughout the Unites States. Discussions are still prevalent in school districts, state legislatures, and

After this, the family decided to appeal this case to the Supreme Court because they felt that even though there were not many differences between both schools, they would never be equal. An argument included that the denial of black students into white schools made them feel inferior to white children (Geer 157). After listening to their arguments, the Supreme Court unanimously decided in a 9-0 vote count that the state laws which require separate but equal facilities were indeed violating the citizens’ rights.

Introduction With a recent increase in presidential power and a new presidential cabinet, concerns have began to arise regarding state rights and independence. One of these concerns is school choice in the form of school vouchers. The use of school vouchers has been a state decision, and Texas has always been a school voucher free state. Not only the national government favors private-school voucher legislation (with Betsy DeVos as the new United States Secretary of Education); so does Texas. Texas’ Lieutenant Governor, Dan Patrick, urges the private-school voucher bill (SB 3) to pass the Texas House (as it has already passed the Senate).
