Texas Bill Sparks Fears of Court Intervention

A Texas bill aims to charge the federal government for educating undocumented students at public schools in Texas, sparking concerns about potential court intervention. Sophia Rodriguez, an associate professor at New York University, notes that the 1982 Plyler v. Doe Supreme Court decision has held that states cannot deny free or public education based on immigration status, a ruling that has stood for over 40 years despite attempts to challenge it. With a conservative court in place, Rodriguez fears that future state laws or policies may be met with a different interpretation, potentially threatening the rights of undocumented children to attend public schools without charge.

Rishi Sunak Teaches at Oxford, Stanford Universities

Rishi Sunak has taken up academic positions at Oxford and Stanford universities while continuing to serve as a Conservative MP in the House of Commons. This move follows a precedent set by former British Prime Ministers Tony Blair, who lectured at Yale University, and Gordon Brown, who became a distinguished leader in residence at New York University. Sunak's experience in policy and politics will be an asset in his new roles, according to Kevin Warsh, a fellow at the Hoover Institution.
