Meaning of the quote
The quote means that in public schools, the idea of having separate but equal education for different groups of people is not acceptable. This is because separating students based on their race or background is not fair or equal, even if the schools provide the same resources. The judge is saying that this "separate but equal" policy has no place in public education.
