This article (1982) tells of the ideals of John Tanton, well-known to oppose immigration, and his view of the "civil rights movement of the 80's", including the case: Plyler v Doe 1982. He was opposed to the idea of immigrants being able to attend public schools and compared this case to previous cases that involved giving civil right to undocumented immigrants.

In Thomas J. Flygare's journal entry, he explains that undocumented children deserve the right to an education regardless of their immigration status.

In this journal entry, we hear from the views and thoughts of the Pyler side. Some belief that the Supreme Court will have a bias and feel like the constitution will play a huge role in the decision of the case.
