3.12 The Supreme Court and Civil Rights

Question 11 • MI-Government/Civics 2023

What was one limitation of the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education?

Answer
A
It required desegregation only in private schools.
B
It required desegregation but not active integration.
C
It required integration in all public facilities.
D
It required states to maintain separate schools.

Explanation

Brown v. Board of Education ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, but the decision did not require active steps to achieve integration. The ruling called for desegregation to proceed with “all deliberate speed,” which allowed resistance and delays. Therefore, the limitation was that it required desegregation but not active integration.
