How Legislation Related Education Impact Your Classroom Practice?

Teachers always have to protect themselves and the best way to do it is to follow the rules of the code of practice. Being a teacher makes me automatically an example for my students therefore I must not discriminate, abuse (physically or verbally), dress inappropriate, and be late or messy.

Everyone has the right to be equal with one another, right? Well not In the two cases, "Plessy V. Ferguson" and "Brown v. Board of Education", they show that we are not equal, but how we can fix these issues. These cases show that we are getting closer to complete equality.

The case of brown v. board of education was one of the biggest turning points for African Americans to becoming accepted into white society at the time. Brown vs. Board of education to this day remains one of, if not the most important cases that African Americans have brought to the surface for the better of the United States. Brown v. Board of Education was not simply about children and education (Silent Covenants pg 11); it was about being equal in a society that claims African Americans were treated equal, when in fact they were definitely not. This case was the starting point for many Americans to realize that separate but equal did not work. The separate but equal label did not make sense either, the

The court case known as the Brown v. the Board of Education is notorious for the fight against educational segregation. The court case fought to show the people that “separate” cannot be “equal”. Things such as “The Doll Test and the Fourteenth Amendment” both reveal the truths about how exactly “seperate” cannot be “equal”.

"According to the article published by Mr. Alex McBride, "Brown v. Board of Education (1954), now acknowledged as one of the greatest Supreme Court decisions of the 20th century, unanimously held that the racial segregation of children in public schools violated the Equal

The U.S is known for its liberty and equality. However, the Supreme Court once had to decide on the rights for African Americans. Since the abolishment of slavery, one court case before the Supreme Court sided against the African American plaintiff fighting for equal rights. In this case the plaintiff, Homer Plessy was arguing his right to ride in a "white only" train car. Unfortunately, he lost his case in Plessy vs Ferguson. Decades later, another plaintiff, Oliver Brown, also took a case before the Supreme Court. Conversely, in this case, the Supreme Court sided with the plaintiff in Brown vs Board of Education. This decision began the integration of schools. Despite the fact that these two cases took place almost 60 years apart, they both dealt with a similar issue.

The Brown v. Board of Education ruling added to the debate over segregation, ruling that separate but equal schools for blacks were still inherently unequal.

In some schools there has been an issue of white teachers and students treating black students differently. This issue has been going unnoticed or ignored and needs to be addressed.

Brown v. The Board of Education was one of the most critical Supreme Court cases in history, defying the social structure of the country, challenging the law, and sparking a revolution. Its decision made on May 17, 1954 stated that “separate facilities are inherently unequal” which granted victory to Oliver Brown. This Supreme Court case deemed the declaration of state laws to separate public schools for whites and colored to be unconstitutional, but there was nothing the court could do to prevent racism towards the minorities. Although the government could integrate the schools, there was nothing the government could do to eliminate the racism that creeped the streets of our nation. This ruling was extremely controversial,

Hello, my name is Hakeem Campbell and the Brown vs. Board of Education case has been significant to my life because I remembered a time when I was treated differently than the other students at my school and there was no justice. One day, I was in class, learning about the slavery era and I noticed that the teacher made some comments that were “foul” like “Them niggers are known for picking cotton and that is where the heck we should be at!!!” and “The only problem that we have on earth right now is that there are niggers in existence.” When I heard the comments, I wanted to go and confront the teacher, but I had to realize that I was the only African-American student in my class and I did not want to hurt anybody's feeling. I sat back and

There has been a long struggle for the equality of races built from blatant racism and the belief that one race is superior over the other. In some events there has been concern over constitutional rights being ignored creating inequality favoring whites over blacks. The Supreme Court Case of Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896 and Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 both dealt with black American citizens who felt discriminated against based on their race. Plessy v. Ferguson had determined that “separate but equal” was fair, but Brown v. Board challenged the previous ruling on racial equality and decided separate could never be equal.

The classroom environment cares about this problem because some of the racial discrimination and racial discrimination are happening outside of school affecting students in many different ways. To solve this problem people need to stand up. They need to stand together to not necessarily ‘fight’ violently but people need to put their differences

By the 19th century, many social forms of discrimination existed to keep Black Americans from being equal to White Americans. Laws like separate but equal where put into places to keep Black Americans from being in the same places as White Americans, like; neighborhoods, schools, churches, restaurants, and so on. White Americans also believed that Blacks should not have the right to vote; which led to many black movements for the continuous fight for equality in the nation of freedom. By 1954 the Brown vs. Board of Education case reversed the “separate but equal” doctrine that previously had been set in 1896, allowing children both White and Black children to attend the same schools and same classrooms. In

White only school was only seven blocks away (Campbell). The court ruled in Brown’s favor and declared an end to racially segregated schools due to the unequal education (Campbell). With the Brown V. Board of Education case everyone believed that we as a country had reached a new level of educational equality. However, in today’s world prejudice, oppression and ignorance still exists all around us. Prejudice, or holding back knowledge against others who differ from ourselves, plagues our nation and educational systems.
