Brown vs. Board of Education

The Brown vs. Board of Education decision happened 50 years ago.

In my opinion, I think that this was necessary at the time to break down the racial barriers and force America to confront the inequality that black people were experiencing.

However, this is a reminder of the importance of education. In today's culture, learning is somehow collectively frowned upon; its more important to be "cool", and people who are smart are seen as "nerds".

I wish that the younger generation could see how detrimental this attitude is to the future, and that learning is the most important thing to getting your foot in the door. Brown vs. Board of Education should show people that an education is the most important thing to get, and that in the past people died trying to get an education.

You're just easier to control if you're dumb, ignorant and uneducated.
