United Press International WASHINGTON —The Sup reme Court ruled 8-1 Monday that states may deny free public education to the children of de ported illegal aliens, even if the offspring were born in the Un ited States. Affirming a lower court, the justices upheld a Texas law that forces American-born youths to pay tuition if they are living in the state without their parents simply to take advantage of free schools. In another Texas school’s case last year, the justices ruled 5-4 children of undocumented immigrants are entitled to free education. Combined, the rul ings have the curious result of granting free education to youths who are themselves illeg al aliens and denying it to U.S. citizens whose alien parents were deported. “The Constitution permits a state to restrict eligibility for tui tion-free education to its bona fide residents,” Justice Lewis Powell wrote for the court. Texas’ law requiring proof of residency to be eligible for free public education is a residence requirement that ensures “ser vices provided for its residents are enjoyed only by residents,” Powell said. Justice Thurgood Marshall dissented, saying the state has not “adequately justified its de nial of public education to one small class of school-age resi dents.” The dispute involved chil dren who were born in the Un ited States — and thus are citizens under the Constitution — but whose parents have been deported because they entered the United States illegally. Texas law provides that chil dren living with parents or legal guardians are automatically eli gible for free public education in the county of their residence. Children “in any other living arrangement” must not only prove their residence in a school district, but also must explain their purpose for establishing, the residence. The case was filed on behalf of Roberto Morales, a U.S. citizen born of Mexican parents. When his parents were de ported, they took Roberto back to Mexico. But in 1977, when he was 9, his parents decided he should attend school in the United States and learn to speak En glish. So they sent him to live with his adult sister, Oralia Mar tinez, in the border city of McAllen. In the fall of 1977, Roberto applied for admission to the McAllen School District, but was rejected because he had moved to McAllen for the purpose of attending school. Since Roberto and his sister are indigent, they cannot afford to pay tuition and he is thus effectively prevented from attending public school in Texas. Attorneys for Texas Rural Legal Aid Inc. filed suit on his behalf, charging that the Texas provision clearly discriminates against Mexican-Americans.

Justices Byron White and Wil liam Rehnquist dissented from the ruling.
