Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says his state shouldn't have to provide free public schooling to undocumented students — despite a longstanding Supreme Court decision that says the opposite.
The high court's Plyler v. Doe ruling of 1982 struck down a Texas law that did two things: it denied state funds for any students deemed not to have lawfully entered the U.S., and it allowed local public school districts to deny admission to those children.
