A proposal in Oklahoma public schools is under consideration that would mandate parents to provide proof of their child's U.S. citizenship or legal immigration status when enrolling their children. The aim of this proposal is to align with President Donald Trump's immigration policies.
The proposed rules, set to be voted on by Oklahoma's education board, are in the early stages and would require approval from lawmakers and the governor to be implemented. The proposal, put forth by the state's education chief, would not prevent students without legal status from attending schools but would necessitate districts to maintain a record.
