From Brown V. Board of Education of Topeka (1)
Decided by: Warren Court (1953-1954)
Black children were
denied admission to public schools attended by white children under laws
requiring or permitting segregation according to the races. The white and black
schools approached equality in terms of buildings, curricula, qualifications,
and teacher salaries. This case was decided together with Briggs v. Elliott and
Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County.
Question
“Does the segregation
of children in public schools solely on the basis of race deprive the minority
children of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the 14th Amendment?”
“Racial segregation
in public education has a detrimental effect on minority children because it is
interpreted as a sign of inferiority.”
Helping
to end with the segregation this case was brought to the court. The equality
must be for all children in the schools, but those kids were enduring to see
how white kids had different type of schools in terms of building, curricula,
qualifications and teacher salaries. Brown had the strengths to help black kids
to get their rights. He brought the case to the court and the court decided that
the black and white kids will continue separated but equal doctrine.
I chose this passage thinking about,
why the differences? We are human beings, the color does not mean anything. To
learn and be smart we only need to work hard and keep focusing on what we want.
As the answer states a part, “Racial segregation in public education has a
detrimental effect on minority children because it is interpreted as a sign of
inferiority.” We are equal, I do not like to make differences between people. Sometimes
when I read or hear about how black people were treated it only makes me feel
sad thinking in about how their discriminated. I cannot find reason to treat
other people different, to make them feel inferior, to hurt their feelings and
to ignore that they are human beings.
