Given the overt political nature of this topic, an additional theoretical postulate, the Triadic Theory of Power was also presented as another framework to conceptualize the external and internal forces which shape the formation of contemporary education policy. Predicated upon the scholarship of Nobel laureate James Q. Wilson, Andrew McFarland (1987) a British scholar and political scientist postulated that legislation and policy development emerged from a continuous conflict between divergent forces such as grassroots political activists, appointed cabinet members, elected legislative representatives, and lobbyists employed by special interest groups. The utilization of either of these theoretical assertions would be extremely beneficial in the event of a partisan shift in any given legislative chamber. This literature review provides the documentation that creating legislation reflective of the electorate’s values is not an easy process for the nation’s cadre of elected officials. With perseverance, these leaders must attempt to maintain state constitutional fiduciary obligations, while securing the revenues necessary for implementing partisan proclivities and constituent programs. Within this system of policy development, the influence of lobbyists representing various special interest groups has created an additional layer of representation in the state capitals.

[Expand Summary]
Every new generation needs to be reminded that separate but equal is generally not equal. It is important that the next generation of educators not simply celebrate the passage of Brown v. Board of Education, but be aware of the complexity of the ruling and the impact on today’s educational system. By all accounts, Brown was necessary to correct the lack of many basic civil and equal rights for the African American. In the process of providing this remedy, however, neither was sufficient effort provided nor were problems even acknowledged regarding ancillary consequences of the court action. There continues to be a need in the public schools for African American principals and teachers, as well as equal opportunity in those schools. This article contains information as to why Brown was both the solution and the problem.
