"You made the wrong decision."

Brown v. Board of Education (1954) rejected the Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) doctrine that "separate but equal" is constitutional—in the context of public schools the Court held that "separate" is inherently unequal and therefore racially segregated public education violates the Equal Protection Clause.
