Based on your understanding of the court decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka evaluate the following situation. Next year, a private organization of educated African American men start a school for academically gifted students. In order to qualify for the program, a student must be a male, African American student and score above a 120 on a standard intelligence test. Funding for the program is provided through private donations and a foundation grant left by an affluent community member. A gifted, male Hispanic student wants to join this program, but his application is refused because he is Hispanic. Is this illegal?
a.
No, because the program is privately funded.
b.
Yes, because the Hispanic student meets all of the qualifications except race.
c.
No, because the application clearly states the requirements for acceptance.
d.
Yes, because the Hispanic student is too intelligent for public school.
