This lesson plan from iCivics offers an engaging mini-lesson on the Supreme Court decision that mandated public schools provide language supports to English and multilingual learners. Initiated because students of Chinese ancestry who did not speak English were receiving inadequate instruction, this case underscores the importance of educational equity. Designed for students in grades 6-12, the lesson also connects Lau’s arguments to Brown v. Board of Education (1954) case and explores how the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects students from discrimination.
