The court chose not to “turn the clock back to 1868” when considering the issue of segregation in public schools, <u>since the court recognized the value of education to a child's success. (Option "C" is the correct one)</u>.
The case Brown v. Board of Education (1952/4) was the consolidation of cases related to the segregation at public schools on the basis of race. African American students had been denied of the integration at the public education system as a result of those laws which allowed race segregation at public schools under the belief "separate but equal facilities". As a consequence, the Chief Justice Earl Warren delivered the Supreme Court opinion by which the doctrine “separate but equal facilities are inherently unequal" since segregation in public schools violated the Fourteenth Amendment as well as it had a negative effect on the education and personal growth of African American children. By doing so, the court recognized the value of education to a child's success.
