    Milestones in CLD in Education

  • The Equal Protection Clause

    All persons born or naturalized in the United States, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Students are now enrolled in to school, no matter of born identity.

  • Plessy vs. Ferguson

    This law required all passenger railways to provide separate cars for blacks and whites, stipulated that the cars be equal in facilities, banned whites from sitting in black cars and blacks in white cars (with exception to "nurses attending children of the other race"), and penalized passengers or railway employees for violating its terms.

  • Meyers vs. Nebraska

    Law makers in Nebraska passed the Siman Act, which made it illegal to provide instruction in any language other than English, due to the German instruction that was happening at the time. We now allow different languages to be spoken or taught in the classroom

  • Brown vs. Board of Education

    In this milestone decision, the Supreme Court ruled that separating children in public schools on the basis of race was unconstitutional. It signaled the end of legalized racial segregation in the schools of the United States, overruling the "separate but equal" Currently, we no longer, nor accept, the separation of our students.

  • National Defense of Education Act

    The National Defense Education Act (NDEA) was signed into law on September 2, 1958, providing funding to United States education institutions at all levels. We now receive funding based on individual school needs based on population and other factors.

  • The Civil Rights Act of 1964

    In 1964 Congress passed Public Law 88-352 (78 Stat. 241). The provisions of this civil rights act forbade discrimination on the basis of sex as well as race in hiring, promoting, and firing. The act outlawed segregation in businesses such as theaters, restaurants, and hotels. It banned discriminatory practices in employment and ended segregation in public places such as swimming pools, libraries, and public schools.

  • Elementary and Secondary Education Act

    This act is an extensive statute that funds primary and secondary education and emphasizes equal access to education and establishes high standards and accountability. The bill aims to shorten the achievement gaps between students by providing each child with fair and equal opportunities to achieve an exceptional education. We still hold ourselves accountable today, as teachers to "close the gap" within instruction, whenever possible.

  • The Bilingual Act

    The Bilingual Education Act (BEA), was the first piece of United States federal legislation that recognized the needs of Limited English Speaking Ability (LESA) students. As educators, we now recognize and and attempt to meet the needs of these students.

  • The Lemon Grove Incident

    On March 30, 1931, the Superior Court of San Diego County ruled that the local school board’s attempt to segregate 75 Mexican and Mexican American elementary school children was a violation of California state laws because ethnic Mexicans were considered White under the state’s Education Code. In today's education, there is no segregation of any kind.

  • Lau vs. Nichols

    This case was a landmark case during which the U.S Supreme Court made one of its first interpretations of the term "appropriate action". In 1974 the court ruled that a school district based in San Francisco had violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by denying students of Chinese descent opportunities to participate in classes. English is now taught to non-English speaking students.

  • The Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974

    The Equal Educational Opportunities Act (EEOA) of 1974 is a federal law of the United States of America. It prohibits discrimination against faculty, staff, and students, including racial segregation of students, and requires school districts to take action to overcome barriers to students' equal participation. We no longer discriminate against any of our students for any reason. Students are no longer discriminated against in schools for any reason.

  • Castañeda v. Pickard

    This case was tried in the United States District Court. It was filed against the Raymondville Independent School District by Roy Castañeda, the father of two Mexican-American children. Mr. Castañeda claimed that the RISD was discriminating against his children because of their ethnicity. He argued that the classroom was segregated, using a grouping system for classrooms based on criteria that were both ethnically and racially discriminating. Now, we no longer segregate based on race.

  • The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001

    This act supports standards-based education reform based on the premise that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals could improve individual outcomes in education. The Act required states to develop assessments in basic skills. To receive federal school funding, states had to give these assessments to all students at select grade levels. Still to this day we set high standards and assess our students against other students nationally.

  • Plyer vs. Doe

    In 1982 the court ruled that public school districts could not deny immigrant students from receiving a free public education.[7] The court also ruled that not only do undocumented children have the right to receive the same public education, but that they are also required, to attend school until they are of age as laid down by the state law. Public schools are not allowed to prevent students from receiving access to public education based on citizenship.
