Question

scenario: some california schools refused to enroll mexican - american children. they argued that the children did not speak english and were not prepared for regular curriculum. this violates the 14th amendment because people living in the u.s. must be given equal treatment under the law. the government action that addressed this situation is dropdown with options: executive order 9981, mendez vs. westminster, sweatt vs. painter

Explanation:

The scenario involves racial segregation in California schools targeting Mexican-American children. Mendez v. Westminster was a 1947 federal court case that challenged and ended school segregation of Mexican-American students in California, directly addressing this type of enrollment discrimination. Executive Order 9981 desegregated the U.S. military, and Sweatt v. Painter focused on racial segregation in higher education for Black students, so they do not apply here.

Answer:

Mendez vs. Westminster
