Chief Justice Earl Warren stated, "Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." What did the use of "inherently" imply about segregation? By its very definition, it cannot be equal. It is an integral part of American society. Based on its meaning, separation is a natural inclination. It was intended to be a state right, not a national mandate.

The correct answer is A) By its very definition, it cannot be equal.

Chief Justice Earl Warren stated "Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal" when ruling on the Brown vs. Board of Education case. Brown vs. Board of Education saw the Brown family sue a Kansas school district so that there their daughter (who is African-American) can attend the closer all white school in their neighborhood. In this case, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the family. This ended the doctrine of separate but equal in public schools, ruling that this is a clear violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution.
