Question

the 1950 supreme court decision to banseparate but equal law schools in texas
forced graduate schools across the country to integrate.
applied only to law schools, not to other graduate schools.
did not apply to law schools in other states.
applied only to the law school named in the case.

Explanation:

The 1950 Supreme Court decision in Sweatt v. Painter (which dealt with "separate but equal" law schools in Texas) had broader implications. Legal precedents set by the Supreme Court are generally binding across the country for similar cases. Since the decision was based on the unconstitutionality of the "separate but equal" doctrine in the context of graduate education (law school here), it forced graduate schools across the country to integrate as the principle of equality under the law (as per constitutional interpretation) would apply to similar graduate - level educational institutions.

Answer:

Forced graduate schools across the country to integrate.
