Question

read the excerpt from brown v. board of education.

in these days, it is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an education.

why does the supreme court assert this fact?

○ to highlight the idea that a child’s potential can be measured
○ to illustrate how desegregation will be implemented
○ to highlight the significance of equal access to education
○ to illustrate the importance of high academic standards

Explanation:

Brown v. Board of Education centered on overturning racial segregation in schools. The quoted statement emphasizes that education is essential for life success, which supports the core argument of the case: that denying equal educational access (via segregation) harms children. This frames the need for equal access as critical to life outcomes.

Answer:

to highlight the significance of equal access to education
