integrate the public schools
One latent function of public schools is socialization, where students learn social norms, values, and behaviors that help them integrate into society.
"In the 1960's, many school districts began to integrate public schools." "The city plans to integrate their bus lines and streetcars into a single system." "Printed circuits can integrate many electronic functions into a single board."

The government used the 14th Amendment, specifically the Equal Protection Clause, to integrate colleges, public schools, and all public places. This amendment prohibits states from denying any person equal protection under the law, which formed the basis for landmark Supreme Court decisions like Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. These rulings declared racial segregation in public education unconstitutional, thereby advancing civil rights and promoting integration.
The court didn't say exactly when schools had to integrate.
It wasn't an amendment, but a ruling by the Supreme Court in 1957. It was the Brown v Board of education. It ruled that segregation was illegal and that "separate but equal " wasn't equality.
In the U.S. public schools are free and non public (private) schools are not. In Great Britain, some schools we in the U.S. would call private schools are called public schools.
most of the schools are public
