Answer:

The question was the constitutionality of segregation in public schools.

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole point of Brown v. The Board of Education was trying to get schools un-segregated. This was viewed as unconstitutional, which it was. This abided by the "seperate but equal" rule. The court found that the education establishments that did this were unequal, and thus we have the ruling of Brown v. The Board of Education.

The case went before the U.S. District Court in Kansas, which agreed that public school segregation had a “detrimental effect upon the colored children” and contributed to “a sense of inferiority,” but still upheld the “separate but equal” doctrine

hope this helps you
