Vicka Bell-Robinson, The Journal of School & Society, 2016

these barriers.

discipline.
Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, U.S. Supreme Court, 1954
This landmark decision ended school desegregation across the nation. The
plaintiff argued that education was a property right that was being denied

the law that the Fourteenth Amendment guaranteed. The ruling, which was
unanimous, made school segregation unconstitutional.
