Brown vs Board of Education

Segregating schools not only effects kids emotionally, but also it hurts the economy. You know the economy that we all have to share? If one of us is not doing well, it can impact the rest of us. First off, black people who are segregated end up going to schools that give them less opportunities, less resources, and less qualified teachers. This results in them not being able to get successful jobs such as being accountants, inventors, or anything else that could directly affect the economy. Many of them do not learn the basic skills that they need to be a functioning person in society. They cannot help flourish the economy if you do not give them the proper tools to do so.  Segregating schools leads to an increase in the rate of poverty, which can negatively affect the economy. Also, this gives African Americans a badge of inferiority that gets passed onto their kids, so nothing economical ever gets better in the future. They are just stuck in the same low-income situation as their parents. The neighborhoods around these segregated schools that you force black kids to go to usually have less high school graduates and less students who get employed afterwards. Each year that a black child goes to a desegregated school, their adult income increases by 3.6 percent. I’m not seeing a problem here except for the color of their skin, apparently, for if a white child was increasing their income, you all would be cheering. Yet, you want to sit here and segregate them which in turn hurts you more than it helps.
