Board of Education and United States v. Virginia?

Act.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The Brown v. Board of Education decision said that having schools for African Americans and white Americans was unconstitutional. In the United States v. Virginia decision the Court held that VMI's male-only admissions policy was unconstitutional because it failed to show "exceedingly persuasive justification" for VMI's gender-biased admissions policy. Both of those case decisions were meant to protect civil rights in public schools.
