For example in the Doll Test experiment by Dr. Kenneth Clark he showed two dolls, one white and one black the the African American students and asked them which doll they prefered; the majority said the white doll (Documents Related to Brown v. Board of Education). This shows that when the African American children were set apart from the white children they felt that they were of a lower stature. Also, the average money spent between the two races was huge, approximately “$70 for each white child and $30 dollars for each black child” (Separate But Equal). This goes to show that though the government and school districts thought that separate but equal would work; it just wasn’t possible if they weren’t spending the same amount of money on each child. More importantly than separate but equal not being possible they were violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth
