Lau v. Nichols 414 U.S. 563 (1974) was a civil rights case that was brought by Chinese American students living in San Francisco California who had limited English proficiency. The students claimed that they were not receiving special help in school due to their inability to speak English which they argued they were entitled to under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because of its ban on educational discrimination on the basis of national origin.
