- Oklahoma board of education votes to require citizenship information — In January 2025, Oklahoma's board of education voted to require parents to provide citizenship information when enrolling their children in public schools. This decision challenges the constitutional right to public education for all children, regardless of immigration status, as established by the 1982 US Supreme Court ruling in Plyler v. Doe. The rule is expected to face legal challenges and may be struck down as unconstitutional. However, the policy has already created fear among immigrant families, potentially leading them to keep their children out of school.
