Which of the following was a direct result of the decision in Brown v. Board of Education?

Answer
A
Individual states were allowed to choose whether or not to segregate their public schools.
B
The Fourteenth Amendment was deemed outdated and revised to reflect the court’s verdict.
C
The process of desegregation began in all public schools throughout the country.
D
The connection between self-esteem and learning was made a top national priority.

Explanation

In Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in public schools violated the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. The decision overturned the legal basis for segregated public schools and began the process of desegregation, though implementation was slow and uneven. Therefore, the best answer is “The process of desegregation began in all public schools throughout the country.”
