The best way to understand difficult concepts is to read and read and read. Take notes. Make sure you really understand all of the vocabulary.
I gave you two answers. I was waiting for you to discover the right answer for this one on your own.
B is correct.
thanks
The correct answer is B. busing to achieve racial integration in the schools.
To arrive at this answer, we need to understand the concept of de facto discrimination and consider the policies listed.
De facto discrimination refers to discrimination that is a result of societal factors rather than deliberate laws or policies. It is discrimination that occurs in practice, even if not legally sanctioned.
Now, let's look at the policy options provided:
A. The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) seeks to ensure equal rights for all citizens regardless of gender. While this policy is important for addressing gender equality, it does not directly address de facto discrimination based on race.
C. The Brown v Board of Education of Topeka ruling was a landmark Supreme Court decision that declared racial segregation in schools unconstitutional. While this ruling aimed to end de jure (legally mandated) segregation, it did not specifically address de facto discrimination.
D. The Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees equal protection under the law and prohibits states from denying anyone equal protection. While this amendment is crucial for ensuring equal rights, it doesn't outline specific policies to tackle de facto discrimination.
Therefore, the policy option B, busing to achieve racial integration in schools, specifically addresses de facto discrimination. Busing was a practice implemented in many school districts where students were transported to schools outside of their immediate residential areas to achieve racial integration and overcome segregation patterns. This policy aimed to address the disparities in educational opportunities caused by de facto discrimination.
In conclusion, the policy that aimed chiefly to overcome de facto discrimination is busing to achieve racial integration in the schools (option B).
