Read the excerpt from Brown v. Board of Education . Therefore, we hold that the plaintiffs and others similarly situated for whom the actions have been brought are, by reason of the segregation complained of, deprived of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment . Why does the Supreme Court conclude that the plaintiffs have been denied their rights?
Answer

The plaintiffs’ children have endured racial stereotyping.
B
The plaintiffs’ schools have neglected their responsibilities.
C
The Fourteenth Amendment fails to reference education.
D
Segregation is inherently unequal and unfair.
Explanation
The excerpt says the plaintiffs were deprived of the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection because of segregation. In Brown v. Board of Education, the Court concluded that racial segregation in public schools is inherently unequal, even when the schools appear comparable. Therefore, the best answer is that segregation is inherently unequal and unfair.
