Hello class today I’m going to talk about Education reform in America.
My claim is the education system in the United States has seen many changes since America was founded, with some of the reforms mirroring the bigger problems in American society, such as racism, the separation of church and state, and inequality.
For my creative project I have more of an interactive piece that goes through out my presentation I’m going to split the class into three parts, the white boys, white girls and the minorities
In the early years of America the educational system was run by the churched and the Quakers, only the white children were allowed to have a true education and the girls weren’t allowed to branch out as the like the boys were, corporal …show more content…
After the civil war the 13th and 14th amendments freed and then gave slaves rights but still they didn’t get the same education as the white children. Since barely any slaves had any education there would be packed schools filled with newly freed slaves and sometimes only one teacher.
The Gilded era was a time when the whites regained most of the political control in the south and set into motion the Jim Crow laws. Plessy v. Ferguson was a Supreme Court ruling in 1896 that upheld the idea of separate but equal, ensuring that minority school were less privileged the white schools.
At the turn of the century, education was expanded to include white girls but was sub-par for them as well as minorities.

The first big reform was driven by Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. This Supreme Court ruling finally overturned the idea of separate but equal established under Plessy v. Ferguson. As a result schools across the nation, and especially in the south, were ordered to be desegregated.
Outraged white southerners, led by Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus, refused to allow black students into white schools. Governor Faubus called in the state national guard to prevent the 9 black, high school students from attending a white school in Little Rock. In response, President Eisenhower sent in the federal troops to inforce the integration of white schools.
In the 70’s education reform moved from civil right to gender equality. In 1972 Congress passed Title IX, which stated: No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
This meant that no one, man or women, could be denied educational
