Congress established that language and cultural heritage are basic means by which a child learns, and provided funding for bilingual programs. This law was the start of making it so that I could learn another language.

Gender: PL 92-318, In Title IX of the Education Amendments the U.S. Congress prohibited discrimination on the basis of sex against students and employees of any school receiving federal financial assistance.

    Brown vs. Board of Education (1954) declared that separate public schools for African American and White children is unconstitutional.

In regards to providing an equal education I believe this ruling did help to level the playing field. All students would now be receiving equal education and facilities giving them equal opportunity. I do know that it didn 't exactly go down peacefully and many African Americans still did not receive fair treatment for many many years but it was a stepping stone to move education in the right direction.
