Abstract

Since 1954 and Brown v. Board of Education it has been against the law to educate white and black children separately. Separate schools, separate classrooms within a single school, or separate seating arrangements within the same classroom are inherently discriminatory. The law which separate education violates is not an HEW Rule, Regulation or Guideline; nor is it a federal statute. Where a public school system includes children of more than one color or national origin, education of any group of children within that system in a school which is identifiable as "belonging" to one race or another violates the United States Constitution.
