Analysis: Many Trump judicial nominees won’t affirm the Brown v. Board ruling. And that concerns some legal experts.
People attend a rally near the Capitol to mark the 65th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education ruling that ended segregation in public schools. By Eugene Scott Eugene Scott Reporter covering identity politics for The Fix Email Bio Follow May 17 at 2:04 PM The Supreme Court decision 65 years ago ruling that segregating schools by race was unconstitutional is widely viewed as settled to many Americans.
“I don’t mean to be coy, but I think I get into a difficult, difficult area when I start commenting on Supreme Court decisions — which are correctly decided and which I may disagree with. If I start commenting on, ‘I agree with this case,’ or ‘don’t agree with this case,’ I think we get into a slippery slope.”
“Brown v. Board was about so much more than ending legal segregation in schools. It overturned laws that created a racial caste system to oppress and dehumanize African Americans. It opened the doors to allow for African Americans to integrate into all facets of American life.
“Questioning Brown sets us on a dangerous course,” Johnson, a lawyer who worked with the NAACP’s legal defense fund on this issue, told The Fix. “Brown represents values that are now ingrained in our justice system and society. At a time when our schools are still segregated and our colleges lack diversity, reaffirming our core commitment to equality in education is imperative.
— Elizabeth Warren May 17, 2019 The resegregating of public schools has been a concern for many on the left who believe that students of color are often not receiving the same quality of education as students at predominantly white schools.
