FILE - Texas Gov. Greg Abbott speaks during a news conference April 6, 2022, in Weslaco, Texas. Forty years after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the right to a public education for all students regardless of legal status, Abbott says that decision is a longstanding precedent worth challenging. The Republican is raising the idea of Texas mounting a renewed challenge over school funding for children living in the U.S. without legal authorization. (Joel Martinez/The Monitor via AP, File)
