Brown vs. Board of Ed

"Black children were denied admission to public schools attended by white children under law requiring or permitting segregation".
In the 1950's black and white children were not allow to attend the same schools. Legislation made deprived the black minority children of a proper education. At the time of the issue was called "equal protection". As we had observed in prior equality battles we study in history the equality between back an white citizen have been a problem. Nevertheless the battle of an innocent child that wants a fair education and received neglect from the teachers and administrators of the school. What they had called "equal protection" was not to benefit the children it was more an economical benefit for the educational institutions. Also a control system that with in the school the children were placed in different rooms black in a room and white in another, where the better learning techniques was offered to the white and the black children received a minimal skills and remain at a lower IQ than the white children.
The reason I choose this passage was because today we take for granted what we have at our reach. The opportunity to get educated with out limits. Children in the 1950's were starving for knowledge and the government did not allow it and when finally obtained it was limited. In the other hand children in other countries wish they can attend school, and because of economic issues they can not attend. Keeping minority at a stand still, depriving them the opportunity of prosperity and knowledge.
