In Brown V

In Brown v.Board of Education, the Supreme Court surprised many observers by rejecting scholarly arguments about whether racial segregation of public schools violated the Fourteenth Amendment's equal protection clause.Instead, when striking down the decades-old court doctrine of "separate, but equal," the Court considered only the consequences of segregation, and used them to ultimately suggest that:

A) separate was inherently unequal in public education, under racial segregation.
B) separate but equal was morally wrong by American and global standards.
C) de facto and de jure segregation were equally worth ending in public education.
D) segregation in public education had to end, as did discrimination in employment, public accommodations, juries, voting, and other areas of social and economic activity.
