So, an originalist would say, "14th Amendment invalidates segregation of schools" IMO.Brown v Board of Education is the famous case deciding segregation Originalists supporting it had to ignore the 14th Amendment to support segregation of the schools.
.The Bill of Rights, including its protections for free speech, freedom of religion, and criminal procedure would be inapplicable to the states since the First Amendment only limits the power of Congress not the states
Brown v. Board of Education of Topekawas a landmark 1954 Supreme Court case in which the justices ruled unanimously that racial segregation of children in public schools was unconstitutional. Brown v. Board of Education was one of the cornerstones of the civil rights movement, and helped establish the precedent that “separate-but-equal” education and other services were not, in fact, equal at all.
All because of the 14th Amendment. IMV
Brown v. Board of Education
Bill of Rights does not limit the power of Congress... it empowers the rights of individuals.
