Answer
A
Separate is inherently unequal.
B
Education is important for all races.
C
School policies should be uniform.
D
Citizenship requires voting rights.

Explanation

In Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court concluded that separating children in public schools solely by race makes the schools unequal, even if their physical facilities appear similar. This rejected the “separate but equal” principle upheld in Plessy v. Ferguson. The correct choice is “Separate is inherently unequal.”
