Prohibition of Discrimination and End of Segregation in Public SpacesDiscrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, or religion is now prohibited, marking a crucial step towards equality in public spaces. This move paves the way for the desegregation of public schools and the provision of equal educational opportunities for all students.
Public schools were prohibited from barring minority students from attending white schools, as it was deemed that segregating educational facilities leads to inequality. This decision, which declared that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal," overturned the precedent set by Plessy v. Ferguson. The ruling marked a significant milestone in the fight against racial segregation in schools.
The federal role in education is expanding significantly with a major investment in science and mathematics education. This change is motivated by technological advancements made by the Soviet Union.
A pivotal bill greatly broadens higher education opportunities for millions of WWII veterans. Despite its initial sunset in 1956, the legislation is reauthorized multiple times and eventually becomes a permanent fixture in 2017.
