  • Laboring and the learned

    Thomas Jefferson had pitched an idea which changed up the education system a bit. He had proposed a scholarship that would allow a few students from poverty or laboring class to advance within their studies. So this gave the poor a chance to receive a proper education and advance in life. In which we still use a system similar to this today as it helps people succeed in life

  • pyler v doe

    This was an edition to Texas education enforced in 1975 allowing the state to refuse funds to public schools with undocumented students.
