    Following the groundbreaking and overwhelmingly momentous Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, the “separate but equal” policy was officially held unconstitutional. While many celebrated the decision as a testament to upholding racial equality, Southern white nationalists were not so thrilled with the decision. Thus, they created and submitted the Southern Manifesto, a legislative document condemning Brown as a violation of the balance of constitutional power between the nation and states. Moreover, in the Manifesto legislators contended that the “separate but equal” policy had become a “way of life” (Southern Manifesto on Integration) for the United States and that this decision “destroyed the amicable relations between…

    tnut v. Leading body of Education (1954), now recognized as one of the best Supreme Court choices of the twentieth century, consistently held that the racial isolation of youngsters in government funded schools damaged the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In spite of the fact that the choice did not succeed in completely integrating government funded instruction in the United States, it put the Constitution in favor of racial fairness and aroused the beginning social liberties development into a full insurgency. In 1954, vast bits of the United States had racially isolated schools, made lawful by Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which held that isolated open offices were protected inasmuch as the highly contrasting offices were equivalent to one another.

    In 1896, a supreme court case known as Plessy v. Ferguson ruled that the separation of whites and blacks into “separate but equal” public facilities, was fair and legal. Once formed, these separated schools were anything but equal, from both a quality of education, and a future opportunity aspect. However, in 1954 the Supreme Court overruled the previous decision made in 1896, in a case known as Brown v. Board of Education (Topeka, Kansas.) The case involved a man named Oliver Brown, who was the father of a student who had been refused entry into one of Topeka, Kansas’ white schools. The Supreme Court unanimously decided that separating children into different schools according to race, violated the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.…

Public school funding also helps provide reduced and free meals to students who qualify. What a lot of people don’t know is where all of this money is coming from and who is paying for it.…
