The Virginia Law Review (VLR) Online invites you to join us in Charlottesville, Virginia on February 17, 2023 for this year’s Symposium: “50 Years After San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez: New and Old Fights for Equity in Public Schools.” Fifty years ago, the majority of the Supreme Court in Rodriguez rejected the claim that education is a fundamental right and held that Texas’ system of using local property taxes to fund its public schools did not violate the Equal Protection Clause. Today, the fight for equity in K-12 public education continues on numerous fronts––some decades-old and some unique to the present moment. With debates about public schooling increasingly becoming a microcosm of larger political and social issues, we are interested in contextualizing these struggles and thinking creatively about ways to forge a more just and equitable system. This one-day Symposium will feature paper presentations, topical panel discussions, a book signing, a keynote address, and more.
