"The promise of equal educational opportunity envisioned by the Brown decision remains unfulfilled"

- Bobby Scott

About this Quote

This quote by Bobby Scott speaks with the reality that the guarantee of equal instructional chance, as envisioned by the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision, has yet to be understood. This decision, which stated that racial partition in public schools was unconstitutional, was a landmark judgment that was suggested to make sure that all trainees, despite race, had access to the same quality of education. Unfortunately, more than 65 years later, the pledge of equivalent academic opportunity has yet to be satisfied. Despite the progress that has actually been made, there are still disparities in instructional outcomes between students of different races. This is because of a variety of factors, consisting of unequal access to resources, insufficient funding, and systemic racism. It is clear that much work still needs to be done in order to guarantee that all students have access to the exact same quality of education.
