A student wrote the following letter to his school board to persuade the members not to cut funding for
his swim team. Use the drop-down menus to maintain a consistent tone and style that is appropriate to
the audience, product, and purpose of the letter.
"To the members of the school board:
I understand that you need to make budget cuts for next year, but you
Y cut funding
from the swim team. Four
y made it to the state championships this year, and I am sure
you remember that Stacy won first place in diving! Publicity from attending state meets is good for
our school and motivates alumni
to the booster club. In addition, the swim
team provides
exercise to an increasingly inactive student body. Without the
swim team, we would all be stuck at home playing video games!

Read the excerpt from a supporting opinion of the supreme court’s ruling in plessy v. ferguson, 1896. laws permitting, and even requiring, their separation in places where they are liable to be brought into contact do not necessarily imply the inferiority of either race to the other, and have been generally, if not universally, recognized as within the competency of the state legislatures in the exercise of their police power. how does this relate to the premises of brown v. board of education? the brown case addresses whether state legislatures are equipped to judge the quality of education offered at segregated schools. the brown case addresses whether authorities believe that one race is inferior to another when creating public schools. the brown case addresses whether these laws inherently deny certain citizens equal protection under the law. the brown case addresses the legality of using police power to monitor public places separated by race.
