The Asian population is growing immensely and has been for the past few decades, which could lead to the reduction of the segregation percentage. However, segregation…

means it allowed for “separate but equal” in the public eye which included public schools and public facilities. The unanimous ruling ended federal tolerance of racial segregation but in the ruling for the Plessy v. Ferguson case, the Court ruled that “separate but equal” on the railroad cars confirmed that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantee equal protection. With that decision, it justified segregating all public facilities and schools. Some school district ignored Plessy’s “equal” requirements…

According to Schneider and Wildman (2011), before the 21st century, gender-based classification in education experienced a culture shift in how the Courts, as well as the states, should react to single-sex education. The authors reference three eras, (1) Before gender-neutral treatment in America, (2) When education (by design) discriminated against women’s ability to succeed outside the home.
