In a recent Newsweek interview, Secretary of Education Dr. Miguel A. Cardona says the pandemic “didn’t discriminate against students,” so as the United States recovers, every student — citizen or otherwise — should have access to its public schools.

“I believe all means all,” Dr. Cardona said. “So when there are students that are here that need to be educated, we have an obligation. Whether or not that means they have different rights, I’ll leave that to others. But when it comes to education, every student should get an education when they’re here.”
