Brown vs. Board of Ed. ('Beauty and the Beast' Parody)

Can Oliver Brown, Thurgood Marshall, and others beat the beast that was separate but equal segregation?

Historical Parody/Skits every Thursday

Once there was a time
Students couldn’t mix
Plessy vs. Ferguson
Said segregation
Was a legal fix

If it was equal
Impossible, this led
To discrimination
Jim Crow education ’til
Brown vs. Board of Ed

Brown’s kid couldn’t attend
Topeka’s white school
Since black schools got no funds
The Equal Protection
Clause should beat this rule

With Thurgood Marshall
5 cases were combined
Reached the Supreme Court
Chief Justice Warren thought
It was about time

That schools integrate
“Separate but equal”’s dead
All deserve a chance
Civil rights advanced
Brown vs. Board of Ed.

All deserve a chance
Civil rights advanced
Brown vs. Board of Ed.

Hey Mr. Betts. I just wanted to say thank you for putting out such great content. I use these videos to study for APUSH and they really help me remember the information.

I can't tell if he's for real about having a twin brother or is that just the editing?

[Samyfallzter]

I just discovered your channel and I love it! I'm Brazilian so these videos don't help me much in my school, but I really enjoy to watch all of them because I can learn about USA history and improve my english. Please, could you make a video about Brazil please? Say yes say yes!!

My Teacher
Ms. Tabor
Is obsessed with you
And she played your one dance parody over and over and over
About Plessy vs Fregueson
And it got stuck into my head
Thank for helping me on my test with the song

Another great video! Thank you! I'll be using this one in my class as well. I'm a history teacher and I minored in music, so I really appreciate what you do. Any chance of one on the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution?

You give history class a meaning Mr. Betts. Thank you.

Brown Vs. Board of Ed. is named so because Brown was the first of the cases being brought forward alphabetically .

My teacher showed me this amazing song and we're learning about civil rights!

I know I've already commented this on a few videos, but you should make a parody of Jumpman by Drake and Future about Harriet Tubman or a parody of American Idiot by Green day about becoming an American citizen. By the way, love your vids and great singing! Thanks for making them! Mr. Gebby's 7TH grade class loves your vids!

Hi I am a student of ASK and I loke some of your videos and save some for offline mode

[lifeisaadventure]

Are you two identical twins 🤔 great job both of you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[reaganbarker]

Is that really your brother? Are you really a twin?

[SalMans]

Could shout out my teacher ms. Winshell because she shows your videos to 80-90 students per day which is a lot of work
