Question

The United States Supreme Court banned de jure segregation, which is segregation by law, in the Brown v. Board of Education decision. This meant that segregation in schools based on race was unconstitutional and illegal. The Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954 banned de jure segregation, which is segregation that is enforced by law or government policy. This decision declared segregation in public schools to be unconstitutional and a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. While de facto segregation (segregation that exists without official government support) was not banned by this decision, it did lay the groundwork for future efforts to desegregate schools and other institutions. Busing, standardized testing, and credentialism were not directly addressed by this decision.
