ISSA vs. Board of Education: Refugees and the Fight for Education Equality
Refugees come to the U.S. seeking freedom, safety and protection from persecution. Instead of welcoming them, the School District of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, refused to admit high school-aged, non-English speaking refugees entirely or sent them to a high-discipline alternative school instead of the regular public high school. In the summer of 2016, the ACLU and Education Law Center filed suit against the school district on behalf of six refugee students aged 17-21 in Issa v. School District of Lancaster.


Hear about this important lawsuit directly from one of the plaintiffs, an attorney on the case and a journalist who covered it in depth.
