Which Supreme Court case addressed the issue of segregation in public schools?

The case that addressed the issue of segregation in public schools is Brown v. Board of Education. This landmark Supreme Court decision, delivered in 1954, effectively overturned the precedent set by Plessy v. Ferguson, which had upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine. In Brown v. Board of Education, the Court unanimously concluded that racial segregation in public education violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, stating that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." This ruling was pivotal as it not only declared segregation unconstitutional in public schools but also laid the groundwork for the broader civil rights movement, challenging institutionalized racism across the United States.

The other cases mentioned do not deal with the issue of public school segregation: Plessy v. Ferguson confirmed segregation practices; Roe v. Wade dealt with reproductive rights; and Miranda v. Arizona focused on the rights of individuals in police custody. None of these cases addressed the question of segregation in public education as directly and fundamentally as Brown v. Board of Education did.
