Praxis II PLT 5-9 Test Prep

Answer: B - Brown v. Board of Education set legal precedent that stated separate educational facilities for black students are fundamentally unequal. This United States Supreme Court action was a counter to the policy of separate but equal, which allowed the segregation of the student body and the provision of schooling in separate facilities. The policy of separate but equal had been established with Plessy v. Ferguson, which permitted states to provide segregated educational services. The Brown v. Board of Education reversed Plessy v. Ferguson. Evidence was presented that demonstrated how resources in the facilities serving the black students were often sub-par when compared to those schools serving white students.
