Yes, that is correct. Chief Justice Earl Warren cited changes in the role of public education as one of the reasons for the changing interpretation of the Equal Protection Clause in the case of Brown v Board of Education. Warren noted that, by the middle of the twentieth century, public education had become an essential part of each child's personal, civic, and professional development. This recognition of the importance of public education played a significant role in the court's decision to declare segregated public schools as inherently unequal and therefore forbidden by the Constitution under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
