Study Notes
Brown v. Board of Education
- The case involves the segregation of Negroes and whites in public schools, with the plaintiffs seeking admission to white schools on a non-segregated basis.
- The three-judge District Court in each of the cases (Kansas, South Carolina, Virginia, and Delaware) denied the requested relief, sustaining the validity of the contested provisions and denying the plaintiffs admission to the white schools during the equalization program.
Court Rulings and Decisions
- In the Kansas case, the court found that the Negro schools were inferior to the white schools and ordered the defendants to begin immediately to equalize the facilities.
- In the South Carolina case, the court found that the Negro school was inferior in physical plant, curricula, and transportation, and ordered the defendants to provide substantially equal curricula and transportation and to remove the inequality in physical plant.
- In the Virginia case, the court found that the Negro school was inferior in physical plant, curricula, and transportation, and ordered the defendants to provide substantially equal curricula and transportation and to remove the inequality in physical plant.
- In the Delaware case, the Chancellor gave 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.
Background and Context
- Compulsory school attendance laws were not generally adopted until after the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, and it was not until 1918 that such laws were in force in all the states.
- The "separate but equal" doctrine was first announced in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) and has been labored with by American courts for over half a century.
- The Supreme Court has heard six cases involving the "separate but equal" doctrine in the field of public education, with the validity of the doctrine itself not being challenged in earlier cases.
Impact of Segregation
- Segregation in public schools deprives Negro children of the equal protection of the laws, generating a feeling of inferiority that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone.
- Segregation has a detrimental effect on the colored children, impacting their motivation to learn and retarding their educational and mental development.
- Modern authority supports the finding that segregation has a negative impact on the psychological development of Negro children.
