Ismael Villarreal · Answer 2

The correct answer is B) the clause barring the government from establishing a religion.

The Warren Court ruled that official prayer in public schools is unconstitutional because it violates the clause barring the government from establishing a religion.

We are referring to the case Engel v. Vitale that started on April 3, 1962, and ended on June 25, 1962. The Supreme Court decision was that it was unconstitutional to have an official prayer in school and asked to say it aloud in the public school premises. Chief Justice Eral Warren considered that this violated the Establishment Clause of the 1st Amendment.
