Degrading wooden treasure chests aboard sunken galleons can provide the sulfide needed for certain sulfide ion consuming bacteria to produce hydrogen sulfide gas.

Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954),[1] was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court that declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students unconstitutional. The decision overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision of 1896 which allowed state-sponsored segregation. Handed down on May 17, 1954, the Warren Court's unanimous (9–0) decision stated that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." As a result, de jure racial segregation was ruled a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. This ruling paved the way for integration and the civil rights movement…

Educational Opportunities The Brown v. Board of Education case in 1954 How have historical events, like the Brown v. Board of Education decision, shaped the landscape of educational opportunities for African Americans, and what lingering challenges persist today? A comprehensive and equitable education policy is implemented, addressing historical disparities and ensuring equal access to quality education for all students, irrespective of their racial or socio-economic background. Educational disparities persist as a result of lax policies, budget cuts, or a lack of commitment to addressing the root causes of historical inequalities. There has been remarkable progress in challenging the educational disparity.…

The Supreme Court was presented with the case of Fischer vs. The University of Texas where Abigail Fisher was suing the University for discrimination in their affirmative action based admissions process. The Supreme Court voted 7-1 and ruled to send the case back to the lower courts for further review and put off making any final decisions to change the U.S. policy on affirmative action, a “longstanding but fragile societal compromise, one that forbids quotas but allows using race as one factor among many in the admissions process” (Laptik). Both articles discussed in length the constitutionality of the race-based admissions process as well as explaining the Supreme Court’s position on the matter. The justices made statements that explained that the admissions programs must be subject to strict scrutiny where the it can be determined that classification based on gender, race and ethnicity occurs for the sole purpose of creating a diverse student population. The programs that use affirmative action in public universities are being scrutinized to ensure that their methods are a means to an end and serve to create diversity only. This issue will come before the Supreme Court again in the future and there will most likely be a more permanent ruling on the matter.…
Society often expects certain type of behavior from everyone. But in the big picture, this behavior is only based on what type of sex you are and what your responsibility according to your sex. In today’s society, we have discrimination; high expectations and a set of norms that in a lot of cases only apply or are strictly apply in one gender only. So all of this leads us to the question: Are gender expectations still prevalent in this present day?…
Segregation didn’t stop in 1954 when Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka was implemented in 1954. This past decade, students attending separate and unequal schools have increased.

Despite the growing diversity, minorities continue to be isolated from whites. The author’s describe whereas the average white person attends a school that is 4/5 white, the average African American attends a school that is less than 1/3 white. (Orfield, Frankenberg, Lee, 2002-2003) Latinos face the worst segregation, attending schools where less than half of the students are non-Latino. (Orfield, Frankenberg, Lee, 2002-2003) Many people blame these trends on residential segregation, school choice, and court…
It is now possible for every student to get an education, now the question is the quality of education that everyone receives. The effects of Brown V Board were not all that long lasting nor that impactful despite the fact that it was a necessary step. De facto segregation is currently the daunting task that society is faced with and as of now seems to be failing to address. Although the public education system is improved there is a long way to go for everyone to receive the same level of quality…
