The #SCOTUS decision in #PlylerVDoe, from #ThisDayInHistory in 1982, ruled that “all children, regardless of immigration status, have a constitutional right to a free public education from kindergarten to 12th grade.” This was a debate question in the 1980 presidential primary.

In what proved to be a monumentally embarrassing speech, #GeorgeWBush stood on the aircraft carrier #USSAbrahamLincoln on #ThisDayInHistory in 2003 and announced that "major combat operations in Iraq have ended". Occupation & civil war lasted a decade, and US troops never left.

The #WhiteRose was a #nonviolent resistance movement in #NaziGermany distributing leaflets & making graffiti. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1943, #SophieScholl & #HansScholl were arrested. They were beheaded four days later. This is an archive of their leaflets: https://zurl.co/fqkYg

#Egypt's greatest ruling queen, #Pharaoh #Hatshepsut, died on #ThisDayInHistory in 1458 BCE. She started as regent but usurped the throne & held it for 21 years, during which she expanded foreign trade & kept the peace. Her #FuneraryTemple is one of the finest of the #NewKingdom.
