Team Obama Warns Schools not to Deny Enrollment to the Children of ILLEGALS

The Obama administration on Thursday issued a stern warning to U.S. state and local school districts not to deny enrollment to undocumented immigrant children. 

In a joint letter, the U.S. Education and Justice departments said they had become aware of student enrollment practices “that may chill or discourage” participation of students based on their or their parents’ “actual or perceived immigration status.”

“These practices contravene Federal law,” the letter said.

The letter, which updates 2011 guidelines, did not single out districts for criticism. However, practices at some of the nation’s districts have been targeted by immigration rights advocates in recent years.

For example, a 2011 Alabama law required the state’s schools to get information on immigration status from students and parents. Courts blocked the statute, but meanwhile it reportedly caused some immigrant families to keep their children out of school.
