Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Separating people by race during their education leads to a lack of trust between races in society.		America benefits from the desegregation of schools.
Given the choice, students in the majority would not want to attend a school which was developed for non-majority populations but did not have the same rich history and reputation.		Black people seeking to become lawyers would be professionally disadvantaged by separate but equal education.
The quality of facilities, faculty, and other factors influence the educational outcomes of a school.		Building separate but equal schools is an inherently unfair way to address racial inequality in education.
Most of the influence in society at the time of this case was in the hands of white people.		The unfairness of excluding Black people from historically whites-only schools is not addressed by creating a separate but unequal school for Black people.
The reputation and traditions of a school, and the influence of its graduates, are also important to consider when deteriming the effectiveness of a school.		The opportunities a school offers its students must be truly equal to meet a legal standard of fairness.
