Document Summary
Education conveys cumulative advantages: allowing people to have more prestigious and higher-paying jobs, have higher earning potential over the years, which can be conveyed to future generations. Criminal justice policies such as incarceration can inflict collateral consequences, where ex- felons cannot vote in many states, cannot hold many jobs, cannot receive government benefits like public assistance, or live in public housing. We saw the links between housing, education, and criminal justice in the video on redlining two weeks ago. The starting point for racial disparities in education is brown v. board of education, which overturned the separate but equal system of segregation in public school education. Facts: brown v. board of education was the consolidation of six cases, where african american students were denied access to public schools based on their race. Issue: does the segregation of education on the basis of race violate the 14th amendment equal.
