TICKET OUT THE DOOR - ANSWER THE ESSENTIAL QUESTION OF THE LESSON
Why did the Supreme Court overturn Plessy to deem separate but equal unconstitutional?
In other words, why did the court say segregation was illegal? Be sure to offer a thorough and thoughtful response. In addition, please respond to at least two other people
The supreme court said that segregation was illegal because they saw that African- Americans can learn the same stuff as Whites. They wanted to give African--Americans separation but equal. So they set the law for illegal, so that everyone could be equal.
ReplyDeletewho is this? i agree with them though.
DeleteThat is also very true too, it seem like segregation did not effect blacks that much. -Aniayla

DeleteI agree with your statement Queenie about how they finally found out it was not equal.
DeleteI like that things were set equal so they could get the same opportunity.

DeleteI agree, everyone deserves to be educated at the same level as one another - MaiLani
DeleteThey said it was illegal since even though they were treated the same they weren't treated equal, and under the 14th amendment that says that all citizens are suppose to be treated equally.
ReplyDeleteAdriel
DeleteI agree with you but didn't they say that the 14th amendment had nothing to do with education?
You make good points, they should call you the queen of good points.
DeleteYeah This is True!
DeleteQueenie
It was illegal but the 2nd time they paid more attention to the 14th amendment.
DeleteThey weren't treated equally that is correct. The 14th amendment was definitely violated which is what ended the segregation.

Segregation is mean. People should not have to go around thinking that they are less than another person in terms of quality and potential. It's not like the country was gaining anything from it, they just was scared to change. they didnt want change. if they came to this time and saw obama, they would have a fit.they didn't want slavery to end, so they came up with the next best thing.
ReplyDeletethe 14th amendment is what was suppose to make people feel equal, but like everything theres a loop hole.
DeleteI agree that segregation was horrible and nothing was gained. -UNESHA BANKS
Deletei agree with you because it did violate the 14th amendment

The court said segregation was illegal because nothing was ever equal with blacks and whites while they were separate. Blacks always received low budget things whether it had to do with school, work or facilities. Whites were always treated superior. -Aniayla
ReplyDeleteYeah I Agree With You!
DeleteQueenie
This is true, and I like how you included the low budget factor as well. - MaiLani

ReplyDeleteI think the Supreme Court said that segregation was illegal because they wanted to promote cultural diversity.
in attempt to make everything legal, so i agree.
DeleteThat's a legit reason as well, it brings out the positive aspects of why segregation is illegal. -Aniayla
DeleteThe court decided that segregation was illegal because they came to see that separate but equal was not equal at all. In reality that is not equal because the blacks were getting hand me down books and material, while predominate white schools were getting new stuff. Which could play a role in different learning. which would not be equal.

The supreme court overturned Plessy because they seen it to be fair that they both were provided with the same thing. they felt that it was just personal feelings and they didn't do anything wrong. They made segregation illegal because they knew it was unfair for the children to get different education. The first case they couldn't achieve the goal but by the second it seemed wrong so things were set fair.
ReplyDeleteAdriel
DeleteI agree that segregation was unfair to the children because they weren't getting the same quality as the white kids.
I totally agree with you.
Delete-Tapan
So in other words they violated the 14th amendment is what you are saying correct?
Delete-Anthony
The supreme Court said the segregation was illegal because according to the constitution of United States it violets the 14th amendments. Justice Warren said that we can't only look at the tangible factor but we also have to look at the intangible factors like cultural values and psychological effects. so, to conclude the separate but equal was doing more harm to the people than good so it had to be overturn.

The supreme court made it illegal because it violated the Fourteenth Amendment. Also because it wasn't fair for some kids to walk miles just to get to a special school because of their race. -Shadai
ReplyDeleteThey said that it was illegal because it violated right of African Americans and it violated the 14th amendment. They realized that race is not a issue we are all equal- Daveonne
ReplyDeleteright
DeleteIt was illegal simply because it violated the 14 amendment. Also Justice Warren made a valid point that we cannon only look at the tangible factors but we have to take the intangible factors into consideration as well. - MaiLani Pridgen
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with what you said that is similar to what I wrote. Violating that amendment was what set it off.
Delete-Anthony
yea i guess you're right. the 14th amendment reverses anything like this so they can't make laws that violate it.
DeleteThe Supreme court ruled segregation illegal b/c it went against peoples rights. To be more precise the 14th and 13th amendments. Blacks werent treated equally ( 14th ad.) and it was still ran as if they were slaves (13th ad,) The separate but equal law was more of a personal preference for whites. - Tyshawn
ReplyDeleteWell said these rights never specified against age, color, or gender.
DeleteI agree because no one deserves to be treated unfair no matter the race- Daveonne
ReplyDeleteThe court said that segregation was illegal because they violated the 14th amendment.
ReplyDelete-Anthony
The supreme court overturned this because they realized that children were being negatively affected. They said the segregation was illegal because everyone is the same no matter their skin color. So they all should be offered the same opportunities.
