I think my school should paint the building maroon. The name of our school is Galax Maroon Tide. I think that if we paint our school building maroon it would represent us more.

I’ve asked my principal if we should paint our school maroon. The next day he called me up to his office and told me that he would think about it. It past a week then he called me up again to tell me that he was going to ask the rest of the students and teachers.

It was the last week of school and we had an assembly. The principal went up on the stage. The principal explained to all the students and teachers about the school being repainted to maroon. The students and teachers wrote their opinion about the school being repainted on a piece of paper.

    ...red the courts decision. In a unanimous ruling it declared that, "in the field of public education, the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place," and that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." This ruling overturned the idea of separate but equal that had come about as a result of the Plessy v. Ferguson decision. While it did not end segregation in other public facilities or give a time line for the complete desegregation of schools, it did mark the beginning of the end for the unjust and repressive Jim Crowe laws.

  • Brown V. Board Of Education

    2324 Words  | 5 Pages

    African Americans are still facing segregation today that was thought to have ended many years ago. Brown v. Board of Education declared the decision of having separate schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional. As Brown v. Board of Education launches its case, we see how it sets the infrastructure to end racial segregation in all public spaces. Today, Brown v. Board of Education has made changes to our educational system and democracy, but hasn’t succeeded to end racial segregation due to the cases still being seen today. Brown v. Board of Education to this day remains one of the most important cases that African Americans have brought to the surface for the good of the United States. Brown v. Board of Education didn’t just focus on children and education, it also focused on how important equality is even when society claimed that African Americans were treated equal, when they weren’t. This was the case that opened the eyes of many American’s to notice that the separate but equal strategy was in fact unlawful.

  • The Short Term Significance of the Brown vs. The Board of Education ruling of 1954?

    1977 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Brown v. Board ruling declared segregation in schools unconstitutional, therefore promoting integration. Many view this as a turning point, the start of a social revolution. However, there is a view that, although positive, the ruling did not do enough to force real change. It is even possible to argue that it increased white opposition, actually hindering the case of Civil Rights. Overall, however, the positive aspects outweighed the negatives, with the psychological effect and legal backing from the court being most important.

  • Wearing Gang Colors In Public Schools

    615 Words  | 2 Pages

    Everyone often expresses who we are or what we believe by what we wear. Students maintain constitutional rights for freedom of expression when it comes to school. To some extent our decisions about our appearance are protected as well. Keeping in mind that dress code policies vary from school to school, and there will often be disagreement about what makes up inappropriate clothing. Fear of school disruption is NOT enough to overcome freedom of expression. And wearing gang colors does NOT interfere with our learning nor with the rights of other students. A general ban on gang colors is too vague and therefore unconstitutional. Almost all colors are associated with gangs. Overall, school administers have no right to ban students from wearing gang affiliated colors in public schools.
