The Brown v. Board of Education ruling has promoted white supremacy and inequality.

The article argues that sixty years after the Brown V. Board of Education verdict, America is still struggling to guarantee educational equality for all scholars. Further, efforts at equality, including standardization and accountability associations, have been unsuccessful at closing opportunity gaps for marginalized and vulnerable communities. Scholars with disabilities from linguistically and culturally diverse upbringings have experienced the most challenges.

Inequities in achievement, access, and results for scholars from linguistically and culturally diverse upbringings endure, with poverty, poor funding, overcrowding, and white supremacy being the leading factors. The authors conclude that reforms should be implemented to expand educational conversations for deeper examination, categorizing the consequences for continued, all-inclusive alternatives.

Based on the editorial, Brown V. Board of Education had negative repercussions, where white resistance frequently hindered implicitly integrated schooling. The authors assert that the Brown V. Board of Education ruling was specifically damaging to black communities through the firing of African American teachers, shuttering of black schools, and unequal treatment of African American scholars in multiracial institutions.

Brown V. Board of Education might have put an end to state-authorized school seclusion but failed to eliminate white supremacy. The black teachers and scholars were discriminated against and treated unfairly after the Brown decision and black schooling institutions were closed. The article concludes that meaningful racial integration in schools is still challenging, where separate educational institutions are fundamentally unequal due to white supremacy and inequality. White persons and societies historically and currently monopolize educational, social, political, and economic power.

Motycka, A. E. (2017). White Southerners Respond to Brown v. Board of Education: Why Crisis Erupted When Little Rock, Arkansas, Desegregated Central High School. https://digitalcommons.bowdoin.edu/honorsprojects/82

The author argues that Brown V. Board of Education uncovered the Southern segregationist opinions and views in the 1950s. However, Brown V. Board of Education was unable to overturn a racial order reinforced by social, political, and economic power. The article argues that segregated societies will endure subsisting due to inequality and white supremacy in the United States of America. The article highlights that racial segregation is rampant in schools, promoting inequality.

Motycka aims to expose and comprehend the southern segregationist response to Brown v. Board of education to determine why and how the association started leading up to current history. The article concludes that the Brown V. Board of Education’s legacies display an unceasing battle to desegregate schools and Americans should protect the educational structure to promote equal education and battle inequality.

The article highlights that the Brown V. Board of Education failed to categorize and counterattack the complete damages of discrimination, thus furthering white supremacy instead of overpowering it. According to Onwuachi-Willig, Brown V. Board of Education’s failure to discourse the complete range of damages of racism has led to two particular problems in society. The first problem is a sustained and incorrect sense of white superiority that strengthens and supports the organizations and structures that work to spread racial inequality.

The second problem is racism desensitizes Whites, where numerous of them fail to notice how racial discrimination, especially towards African Americans, also harms them. The author argues that both problems result in greater societal harm, with a partial means for eliminating racial inequality. The article concludes that examining the Brown V. Board of Education is essential to understand how the gaps in that verdict resulted in contemporary racial realism, where background and history are overlooked and equality remains evasive.

Professor Yearby asserts that the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education verdict concluded that unequal and separate education dishonored and breached the Constitution since separate is intrinsically unequal. Numerous individuals trusted that the ruling and other reforms, such as the Voting Rights Act of 1965, would end discrimination against the black community in America. According to the editorial, disparities still exist because the laws and rulings did not modify the structures of America.

Notably, structural racism hinders blacks from acquiring equal access to healthcare, income, employment, and wealth. The author highlights how structural racism endures and sources racial disparities between Caucasians and African Americans. The article concludes that adopting reforms and laws, such as a novel anti-discrimination decree to cope with intentional racial prejudice towards African Americans in healthcare access, is essential. This would end structural racism in employment, healthcare, income and end racial inequalities.
