Pretest

Question 2 • CMS 2026-2027 English III CREDIT RECOVERY

What is the plaintiffs’ main concern about the state of public schools in Brown v. Board of Education ?

Answer
A
The school buildings were in poor condition, which caused low attendance rates in Topeka.
B
The curriculum was outdated and biased, which led to a poor quality of education in Topeka.
C
The teachers were not credentialed, which led to disparities within the Topeka school system.
D
The schools were racially segregated, which led to a lower quality of education for some students in Topeka.

Explanation

The plaintiffs argued that separating Black and white children in public schools was unconstitutional and harmed Black students’ educational opportunities. In Topeka, Black children were required to attend segregated schools, which the plaintiffs said provided an unequal education. The main concern was racial segregation, not teacher credentials, building conditions, or the curriculum.
