Brown Vs Board of Education

 Good evening everyone,

   

    It's irrational for parents to think their children won't be held back from school if we let blacks and whites in the same school.  The Separate but Equal clause keeps our children safe and keeps them from failure. I remember when I was a young boy and one of my teachers told me a saying that stuck with me ever since. "The bluejays and the Robins can play together but at the end of the day they have to go back to their nest." This quote meant that blacks and whites can play together and be friends but at the end of the day blacks and whites need to be separated as it's not what they were created for. 

Do you want the future generation to not receive a proper education.... with obvious distractions such as fights between the races? Blacks also have been proven to have a lower IQ level than whites and graduate way less. Also before blacks were free no one would teach them or read to them, therefore, giving them a disadvantage in school. They should receive the education they can understand and not such advanced learning, as the whites receive.

They would be held back due to being into unfamiliar scenarios and not feeling confident in school due to students feeling uncomfortable with their race group.  There is a possibility gangs can come out of school  now and destroy our child's lives.

Separate but equal is a legal doctrine in United States constitutional law that states we remain separate and have the same facilities. The Separate but equal doctrine was also backed up in cases such as Plessy V Ferguson. 

The Plessy v Ferguson was a legal case that was in 1891 on whether or not blacks should be able to ride in a train with whites.  The case involved Homer Plessy who was 1/8 African American, who rode on a train car that was for whites only. The case was an easy one to decide as it got voted on 7-1. This was the first inquiry on the 14th amendment and whether or not the separate but equal clause should be removed. It was easy to see that the separate but equal clause was important for our country to thrive. 

The reason why the separate but equal clause survived through this case was that it had no violation of the 13th amendment which gave African Americans citizenship. The 13th amendment reads Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. 

In conclusion, blacks should not be in the same school as whites. For the main reason that they will not be prepared for the education and there would just be too much chaos in the school. I hope one day our country will wake up and see that removing the Separate but equal clause could very well destroy the United States of America.
