arne duncan is supportive of charter schools. president obama has historically been supportive of charter schools in many democratic senators are as well. is it the response to the demand they see in their communities. public schools as several other colors have described their many families millions of families across america who are sending their kids to a traditional public school and happy with that performance. we ought to make sure that those success stories continue. but for kids that aren't happy and for parents that are unhappy they ought to have options to and h.r. 10 is a way to try to promote more opportunities. >> host: the debate begins on the legislation h.r. 10 in the legislation h.r. tanenhaus today in a vote expected as well. tune into c-span if you're interested. we will go to jeffrey and olympia fields illinois. independent caller. hi jeffrey. >> caller: good morning and thank you representatives messer i just wondered if you could share some thoughts on diane ravitch's research that actually shows charter sch

yesterday attorney general eric holder and education secretary arne duncan issued new guidelines to makehool districts across the country cannot turn away students whose parents may be undocumented. the action comes after years of reports that young people were being denied public education because schools were demanding visas are social security numbers as part of the enrollment process. in 2011, for example, alabama passed a law requiring schools to collect information about the immigration status of both students and their parents. that law was later overturned. given the administration's renewed emphasis on fixing the country's broken and oftentimes very cruel immigration system, it seems as if the white house just may be taking a cue from this guy. >> in my heart and in my mind, i know that we must solve this problem once and for all or it will only get worse and it will only get harder to solve. >> senator marco rubio, the man who negotiated a bipartisan immigration deal in 2013 that passed the senate with 68 votes and then immediately went nowhere the minute it arrived on the door

arne duncan talked about that.had to say and get your reaction on the other side. >> school integration reflects housing patterns. when we choose to live closer to each other is our schools reflect that. >> so your reaction to those comments and also what can be done to bridge the gap. >> my first reaction is, yes, he's correct that the segregation in the school reflects housing segregation. the question of choice is a complicated one though. i think that segregation is not the result of people making choices voluntarily. there's still discrimination in housing. there's still factors whether it's mortgage discrimination, a whole range of things that affect housing patterns. those are not all voluntary, but they have enormous impacts. where you live has an impact on your opportunity. >> one of the things we're also seeing is this is regional. in other words when you look at a place like new york, you're seeing more segregation. but west virginia actually has the least. so what do you make of that? is this an east/we

attorney general eric holder and education secretary arne duncan also outlined the requirements in a educators. this after reports of some districts denying children admission to public schools. cnn's evan perez is in this washington with more on this. good morning. >> good morning, carol. you know, this is an issue that, you know, could well have some political blowback for the administration. there are many states, for example, alabama that have passed laws to try to limit public schools to legal residents and citizens. and the courts have blocked the alabama law. but on this call just a moment ago, officials said that they're still getting reports of undocumented kids being pulled out of schools because of paperwork requirements. the supreme court has said that kids have a right to public education, even if they're undocumented or their parents are not in the country legally. there are about 1 million undocumented kids in the u.s. according to the homeland security department, carol. >> so how widespread is this problem? >> well, the education department just said that they have a

>> the secretary of education arne duncan testified before the house education committee that is whereill goes basically excited to work with lawmakers on this bipartisan issue. >> one to get your take on the article you wrote in education week. the headline says as house has considered charter legislation key senators write their own bill so is the senate version drastically different from what the house will do? >> it's actually virtually identical. they're a couple of changes. the senate bill gives more flexibility to charters and using a grant to cover the cost of facilities and would also steer more money to charter organizations. those are the groups that grow charters and operates more than one charter. it would steer more money to those organizations then the house bill with. but those are pretty minor tweets. >> i less inclined covering education issues for education week covering the debarred on -- the debate and you can read more and on the politics k-12 blog there and on twitter. that is our handle politics k-12. alyson klein we appreciate you joining us. >> thanks for havi

street from silicon valley and from the democratic side the president and the education secretary arne duncanhave been big proponents of the charter movement and so some of the sources that i talked to within the party said that that has made it more difficult for democrats to speak out and really question whether we should be privatizing our public education system why do you think the democratic party has taken such a lead in kind of cementing this notion of privatizing standardization i think that's a really good question obviously there's a close relationship between a certain faction of democratic party and wall street and the silicon valley some of the people who are putting money behind the charter movement and i think there is sincere concern about our public education system which is warranted you know the. public education system is in dire straits that's just an honest fact but if you look at the reasons for that it's a clear resources problem and we have a crazy tax system where schools are getting most of their funding from the local tast tax base you have a system where schools
