Segregation means to separate groups of people based on race by government mandate. In the United States, the policy was created and enforced by the Democratic Party starting in the 1870s. Segregation was allowed in public schools by the U.S. Supreme Court in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), but then prohibited in Brown v. Board of Education (1954).
In addition to the public schools, segregation existed in the United States in the military and in public accommodations like trains, buses, restaurants, movie theatres and hotels before being banned everywhere except in private clubs by federal law in the Ciivil Rights Act of 1964.
This practice is supported by Leviticus 12-10, which of course, causes Liberals to denounce it.
