San Francisco school district
Non-English speaking Chinese students
Lack of a “meaningful” education
![Page 4: Lau vs. Nichols Stacy Miller. What is Lau vs. Nichols? 1974 Supreme Court Case San Francisco school district Non-English speaking Chinese students](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b293c9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
“Every student brings to the starting line of his educational
career different advantages and disadvantages caused in part by
social, economic and cultural background, created and
continued completely apart from any contribution by the school
system”

Issue Equality is not achieved by simply providing
facilities, textbooks, teachers, and curriculum to all students.
Students who do not understand English are excluded from any “meaningful” education provided through the public education system.

Possible Solutions Teach English as second language courses.
Providing the same curriculum but in the native language of the student.

“School systems are responsible for assuring that students of a
particular race, color, or national origin are not denied the opportunity to obtain the
education generally obtained by other students in the system.”

Significance Today The amount of diversity and bilingual
students continue to increase.
Today there are previous court cases and laws defending the rights of those students to equal opportunities during their education.
