Is the first point a constitutional issue? I don't recall the constitution guaranteeing anyone a public education.

  It doesn't require public education, but it restricts discrimination if it is provided by the state, as all states do. So, yes, it is a Constitutional issue.

    Which part of rhe Constitution forbids discrimination based on citizenship status?
    • dragonwriter 7y ago
      No part of the Constitution entirely forbids discrimination on any basis, but the part that is held to limit state discrimination on that basis is—as limits state discrimination on every basis—the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

      The equal protection clause applies to citizenship status. The key case on citizenship discrimination and public education is Plyler v.
