In that decision. the Supreme Court held that children could not be classified by race for assignment to public school. They based the decision on the 14th amendment. from which I read a portion thereof: SECTION 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States. and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. nor shall any State deprive any person of life. liberty. or property without due process of law. nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. We shall hear from time to time in this Chamber about "de jure" segregation.
