Question

read the quote from the supreme courts decision in brown v. board of education. we conclude that, in the field of public education, the doctrine of \separate but equal\ has no place. separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. compared with the decision in plessy v. ferguson, this opinion refutes the doctrine of \separate but equal.\ supports the doctrine of \separate but equal.\ recommends affirmative action measures. upholds the right to legislate segregation.

Explanation:

Plessy v. Ferguson established the "separate but equal" doctrine. Brown v. Board of Education's quote states "separate but equal" has no place in public education and separate facilities are unequal, so it refutes the doctrine. The other options: supporting the doctrine contradicts the quote; affirmative action isn't addressed here; upholding segregation - related legislation also contradicts the ruling.

Answer:

A. refutes the doctrine of "separate but equal."
