How the United States can provide equal educational opportunity to
every child The United States Supreme Court closed the courthouse
door to federal litigation to narrow educational funding and
opportunity gaps in schools when it ruled in San Antonio
Independent School District v. Rodriguez in 1973 that the
Constitution does not guarantee a right to education. Rodriguez
pushed reformers back to the state courts where they have had some
success in securing reforms to school funding systems through
education and equal protection clauses in state constitutions, but
far less success in changing the basic structure of school funding
in ways that would ensure access to equitable and adequate funding
for schools. Given the limitations of state school funding
litigation, education reformers continue to seek new avenues to
remedy inequitable disparities in educational opportunity and
achievement, including recently returning to federal court. This
book is the first comprehensive examination of three issues
regarding a federal right to education: why federal intervention is
needed to close educational opportunity and achievement gaps; the
constitutional and statutory legal avenues that could be employed
to guarantee a federal right to education; and, the scope of what a
federal right to education should guarantee. A Federal Right to
Education provides a timely and thoughtful analysis of how the
United States could fulfill its unmet promise to provide equal
educational opportunity and the American Dream to every child,
regardless of race, class, language proficiency, or neighborhood.
