San Antonio Independent School District v Rodriguez Holds No Constitutional Right to Equal Education

In San Antonio Independent School District v Rodriguez, 411 U.S. 1 (1973), the U.S. Supreme Court held that the right to education was not a fundamental right under the U.S. Constitution that triggered strict scrutiny.
