Brown v Board of Education

The debate of wether segregation should continue in the United States brought many different and interesting viewpoints to the table. Schools across America have been brutally effected by this debate, and the question of how kids for the future will receive a good education has made the case even more important. This debate made sure this topic was thoroughly discussed, and had a momentous impact in the history and future of the African American community.

One of the arguments made in favor of Brown was that the schools may definitely be separate, but they are in no way equal. In many black school the standard education is much lower, the facilities are less sanitary, the they are simply not funded as much as white schools. Therefore not only is the standard lower for an entire American community, it is evident that the nation is making no effort to integrate them into their society.

A further talking point that was posed in favor of Brown was that the separate accommodations was unconstitutional. If you are going to have separate schools you are going to have a separate nation, and when one of these is unequally neglected then people in the nation will not have the same opportunities as other. This by definition means that all people are not created equal, and in turn the American promise is not upheld.

By the words of the law of course the accommodation laws can lawfully be argued. However it is evident to anyone who has seen both schools that the students are not receiving the same tools for success. In the future economic malfunction will be evident due to the poor attention an American race and community is receiving. In short these were the arguments posed by Brown in his case against the Board of Education.

Next the defense for Board of Education provided arguments that would maintain Americas historical traditions. The first that arose was that there was no proof that the schools were teaching different levels of education, and that it was a fallacy that there was unequal standards implemented in the schools. If bathrooms are separate but equal, then why should schools and facilities be any different?

Another point that was made was that there is no way under the constitution that the schools being separated was unconstitutional. America has given opportunities to blacks because it has seen many from this community establish themselves in history by leaving legacies. If this community is given education that is supported then obviously the boundaries are limitless. Therefore why should the segregated schools highlight the good work that has been done for this community?

In the end the decision ruled in favor of Brown due the argument that the segregation of schools was not based on logic, and there was proof that there was separate but not equal accommodations in the schools. This decision improved the standard of millions in America and had a positive impact on the community that was deprived of rights and equality for the entirety of its tenure in the nation.
