TN bill allowing school districts to ban undocumented students passes House subcommittee

  • The House K-12 Subcommittee voted 5-3 to advance bills SB0836 and HB0793, which allow schools in Tennessee to refuse enrollment of undocumented students unless certain documentation is provided.
  • Rep. William Lamberth stated that the bill gives school districts options regarding proof of citizenship during enrollment, similar to residency and immunization verification.
  • Luis Mata from the Tennessee Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition argued that the bill contradicts a 1982 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that guarantees educational access for all children.
  • Opponents warned that the bill could have severe implications, including jeopardizing federal funding, and declared it cruel and unconstitutional, according to various community leaders.
