Brown
Kayla: questioned the concept of "separate but equal." After the Cold War, new technologies, such as the radio, emerged. Thurgood Marshall was mentioned, and Brown emerged victorious in the case.
brad: legal argument: "separate but equal" is deemed impossible. This concept goes against the principles of the 14th Amendment. Black schools are of inferior quality compared to white schools, despite having more students. Resources are transferred from white schools to black schools.
josh: Josh made a religious argument, he referenced a Bible verse, Proverb 14:31. This verse condemned unfair treatment of African Americans, stating that such discrimination goes against Christian principles of unity.

Lindsey: Lindsey provided a historical summary. She mentioned the existence of the separate but equal doctrine and highlighted the origin of the Brown vs. Board case, which began with a girl being denied entry to white schools. The girl's father sued, leading the case to reach the Supreme Court. Lindsey also asserted that the 14th Amendment does not prevent states from segregating places and people.
Lucy: presented a moral argument, expressing that Black children have encountered more illness and violence compared to white people. She emphasized the importance of considering the upbringing of the children. Lucy pointed out that white students who completed high school were more likely to attend college than black students, suggesting that school segregation should be maintained.
Elliot: says that segregation is allowed by the Constitution, referring to the 14th and 2nd Amendments. He argues that while people keep their rights, segregation is needed. He compares it to the rule that felons can't buy guns, saying it's not a violation of rights but a way for the government to keep everyone safe. He thinks segregation is necessary and constitutional to protect both black and white students. On the other hand, he suggests that if we mix schools, felons might get their hands on guns.
both sides of the arguments were very compelling and had great points
