Hey there! Have you ever wondered what it would be like if your friends from other countries had to suddenly leave your school? Well, something like that almost happened in the United States!
In July 2020, there was a new rule that said international students in the U.S. would have to go back to their home countries if all their classes were online. This made many students and schools worried. Imagine having to pack up and leave just because your classes moved online!
Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (that’s MIT for short) decided to take action. They filed a lawsuit against this rule because they believed it wasn’t fair to international students. 🎒🌐
Guess what happened next? A U.S. federal judge listened to their concerns. Soon after, the government agreed to drop the rule! That means international students could stay in the U.S., even if their classes were online. Hooray! 🎉
This was great news for thousands of students from all over the world. Schools and students celebrated because they could continue learning together, no matter where they were from. It showed how people can make a difference when they stand up for what’s right.
Isn’t it amazing how working together can help everyone feel included and valued? Learning knows no borders! 🌏📚
