Read the passage from the opinion of the court in Brown v. Board of Education, written by Justice Warren.
Segregation of white and colored children in public schools has a detrimental effect upon the colored children. The impact is greater when it has the sanction of the law, for the policy of separating the races is usually interpreted as denoting the inferiority of the nero group. A sense of inferiority affects the motivation of a child to learn. Segregation with the sanction of law, therefore, has a tendency to [reard] the educational and mental development of negro children and to deprive them of some of the benefits they would receive in a racial[ly] integrated school system.
What reasons does Warren provide in this passage to support the claim? Select three options.
The policy of segregation increases a sense of inferiority because it is a law.
Racially integrated schools would have little impact on educational equality.
Racially segregated schools take away educational benefits from Black people.
The policy of segregation makes Black children feel inferior.
The policy of segregation has a negative effect on the education of White children.
