I honestly don't know why they feel the need to with these courts, but Oklahoma is trying to dance around Supreme Court precedents that say every child in the United States is entitled to an education regardless of their citizenship status or their parents citizenship status.

The proposed rule change – technically 210:10-1-5 (d) – would require the parent or legal guardian of a child to provide proof of US citizenship or legal immigration status at the time of enrollment.

Each school district shall record the number of students whose parent or guardian cannot provide proof of citizenship or legal immigration status “due to the lack of citizenship or legal immigration status of the student,” the rule states. The district then shall submit “only information of the total number of students that lack documentation,” without any personally identifiable information, to the state Department of Education, according to the proposed rule.

The goal of the rule change, according to the text, is “to assess statewide and local educational needs, including without limitation, student needs, language and cultural barriers, current and future needs for English as a Second Language (‘ESL’) teachers, tutors and tutoring programs, current and future transportation needs, programs, and anticipated future funding needs.”

Bullshit, if you wanted to assess those things you could much more easily survey teachers and ask them to report on what they're seeing in their classrooms. Making parents provide information is an intimidation tactic and creating an opportunity for any fascist school district employees to give ICE a call.

I think you've uncovered their plan to have the Supreme Court change their previous ruling.
