Kobach cites FAIR report saying KS spends $377M public benefits on illegal immigrants. 1/2 of that is public schooling for immigrant children. If elected, would Kobach try to challenge US Supreme Court that ensures education for children regardless of status? #ksleg#ksed#ksgov
Look at what Kobach did in Alabama in 2011. Kobach wrote and pushed for HB 56 in Alabama, a bill that critics say, among many things, tried to intimidate undocumented children from attending school. #ksleg#ksed#ksgov
HB 56 disrupted Alabama schools. Eventually the school provision in that bill was blocked. Will Kobach try the same thing in Kansas? #ksleg#Ksed#ksgov
Supremes said in `82 Plyer By denying these children a basic education, we deny them ability to live w/in structure of our civic institutions & foreclose any realistic possibility that they will contribute in even the smallest way to progress of our Nation #ksleg#Ksed#ksgov
The Supreme Court also said it was also unfair to hold children accountable for their parents’ actions #ksleg#Ksed#ksgov
