Read the quote from the supreme court's decision in brown v. board of education. we conclude that, in the field of public education, the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place. separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. compared with the decision in plessy v. ferguson, this opinion refutes the doctrine of "separate but equal." supports the doctrine of "separate but equal." recommends affirmative action measures. upholds the right to legislate segregation.

The correct answer is: "refutes the doctrine of separate but equal"

Brown v. Board of Education was a landmark case that took place in 1954 in the US Supreme Court. It declared unconstitutional the creation of separate public schools for white and black students, as this de jure segregation violated the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment. Moreover, it highlited how it was not true that segregated facilities had the same quality and that they did not fulfilthe principle of "separated but equal" that segregationists defended. Warren's court stated that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal."

This decision overturned the former sentence in the Plessy v. Ferguson, which had previously allowed this form of segregation sponsored by the states.

The Fourteenth Amendment was issued on July 1868 in the Reconstruction period. It legally guarantees same citizenship rights that will be equally protected by law for all US citizens.
