Question

read the quote from the supreme courts 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.

Explanation:

Plessy v. Ferguson established the "separate but equal" doctrine, allowing racial segregation in public facilities. The Brown v. Board of Education quote explicitly states this doctrine has no place in public education and that separate facilities are inherently unequal, directly rejecting the core of the Plessy decision. The other options are incorrect: it does not support the doctrine, does not mention affirmative action, and rejects segregation rather than upholding legislative segregation rights.

Answer:

refutes the doctrine of "separate but equal."
