Brown:
Kayla: this challenged the idea of the separate but equal. Following the Cold War, there came new technology like the radio. Referenced Thurgood Marshall and Brown won the case.
Gabby: Moral argument that sued the Topeka Board of Education. It was morally wrong to raise kids like this so that they feel lesser. It is immoral to have a system where people could be looked down upon.
Josh: Stop segregating schools, stop the insults to religion and let's unify schools!
Grace Ann: This system of segregation is obscured. Separate but equal affects the US economy. Tax money, think about how education, transportation, and public accommodations were joined all together, there would be more leftover tax money. It is more beneficial to be integrated. These children are our legacy and the future of our nation so they need to be treated right!
Brad: legal argument, separate but equal cannot exist, it is broken by concept. It violates the 14th Amendment. Black schools are of lower quality than white schools. However, they have more people, and resources are handed over from the white schools. Whites are 4x more likely to complete their education than blacks.
Board of Education:
Lindsey R: social, political, and cultural issues in the nation. It all began with Lydia brown challenging segregation because she felt it.
Jonathan: The dangers of integration. If we place black and white children together, it could harm them. What is segregation? why desegregated? If schools were to be mixed it could harm the white students and cause the white students to be slowed down. Blacks could feel left out. They would hire mostly white teachers and therefore black teachers would be let go. African-American students might feel inferior and integration equals lost jobs for the teachers.
Abby E: In favor of segregated schools. Children were not even required to attend school. Segregation was not harmful to African Americans.
Lucy: In 1965 understand how the children have been raised. Do not mix the children because the neighborhoods need to be kept separated. They needed to have distinct housing because the blacks were in poor places. Mixing would cause disputes, violence and sickness.
Elliot: Pretends to be Perry Mason. Says that it is constitutional. 14th amendment and the 2nd amendment. No state shall enforce any law that abridges the privileges of citizens. They still have the same rights but need to be segregated. You have a right to hold and fire a weapon. However, a felon cannot purchase a firearm. So no the government is not violating the rights. The government has a violation to protect its citizens. Segregation is necessary and constitutional to protect black and white students. The Opposite is if we desegregated schools, felons could buy guns.
