'''Brown v. Board''' was a landmark, and extremely controversial, 1954 [[Supreme Court]] decision that ordered racial desegregation of public schools. It was based on the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the [[United States Constitution|US Constitution]], and on social science research that claimed to show that black children have trouble learning unless white children are in the classroom. The decision led to later decisions requiring forced racial busing of school children.
