As always, you can find the Dobbs v. Jackson decision here.

Paragraph 3 of 8

Sentence 3 of 4

This sentence contains two claims:

“In Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), the Court repudiated the ‘separate but equal’ doctrine, which had allowed States to maintain racially segregated schools and other facilities. Id., at 488 (internal quotation marks omitted).”

• “In Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), the Court repudiated the ‘separate but equal’ doctrine.”
• “The ‘separate but equal’ doctrine] had allowed States to maintain racially segregated schools and other facilities.”

Both of these claims are supported by this passage at the end of the Brown decision:

“We conclude that, in the field of public education, the doctrine of “separate but equal” has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. Therefore, we hold that the plaintiffs and others similarly situated for whom the actions have been brought are, by reason of the segregation complained of, deprived of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. This disposition makes unnecessary any discussion whether such segregation also violates the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

So both of these claims are true:

• “In Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), the Court repudiated the ‘separate but equal’ doctrine.”
• “The ‘separate but equal’ doctrine] had allowed States to maintain racially segregated schools and other facilities.”
