question 16

Multiple Choice

"We come then to the question presented: Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race,even though the physical facilities and other 'tangible' factors may be equal,deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities? We believe that it does....In McLaurin [a 1950 case],the Court,in requiring that a Negro admitted to a white graduate school be treated like all other students,again resorted to intangible considerations: '...his ability to study,to engage in discussions and exchange views with other students,and,in general,to learn his profession.' Such considerations apply with added force to children in grade and high schools.To separate them from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone.
We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of 'separate but equal' has no place.Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal."
