I just never realized how racist their opinion was.
Think of funding, staffing, facilities, materials, teacher qualifications, the longstanding ramifications of not being allowed to attend a public school strictly because of the color of your skin.
Sorry for the thread if it's that big of an issue to some of you.... sheesh

Is Oliver Brown the end all be all in judging the educational standards of schools? Even if the school was perfectly adequate, it is only one fricking school out of thousands that were not likely up to standard! Upon that, think of being told year after year that you cannot attend a certain school strictly due to your skin. Do you really think that'll have a positive, long-standing impact on students?
The court found
quote:
segregation in public education has a detrimental effect upon Negro children, but denied relief on the ground that the Negro and white schools were substantially equal with respect to buildings, transportation, curricula, and educational qualifications of teachers
Look at:Gebhart v. Belton -
quote:
judgment for the plaintiffs and ordered their immediate admission to schools previously attended only by white children, on the ground that the Negro schools were inferior with respect to teacher training, pupil-teacher ratio, extracurricular activities, physical plant, and time and distance involved in travel.
