Kodiak, I appreciate the effort you put in and found me the entire text of Brown vs. BoE, but what made you think I have not read the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution? I have read both of them many times and while I am not among those who have an almost religious awe for these documents or find the founding fathers almost infallible, I find them remarkable documents. More importantly I overwhelmingly agree with the ideals described within them. Now you are right that I am not a lawyer.
