Well I have done some more research on this.
Seems that there is a SC decision in Plyler v Doe 1982 in which the courts
have ruled that a child (citizen or not) has the *right* to public
education. This comes out of a Texas case not too differnt from Prop 187
in California.
The proposition I mentioned in my last post was Prop 187.
I seem to be having some difficulty in finding the actual documents
regarding this case and subsequent court rulings (opinions on it I can
find by the truckload).
I'll keep searching but if anyone has a pointer to where this info can be
found it would be appreciated.
OK I found Plyler v Doe at:
http://caselaw.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=457&invol=202
I haven't had a chance to read through it yet.
It seems that this case is one of the main attacks against Prop 187 which
AFAIK is still in the courts.
Here is a ruling of the 9th district by Judge Mariana R. Pfaelzer:
http://128.120.36.171/By-Month/MN-Vol-3-96/Prop_187_Opinion.html
Appendix A of this ruling has the text of Prop 187.
I still have not been able to find out where this thing is in the court
system.
