Organized prayer in public schools could be seen as the government endorsing a particular religion is conflict with the establishment clause.

D. Organized prayer in public schools could be seen as the government endorsing a particular religion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Supreme Court has since quite a while ago held that the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prohibits school-supported supplication or strict teaching. Sorted out supplication in the government-funded school setting, regardless of whether in the study hall or at a school-supported occasion, is unlawful.

While it is naturally passable for government-funded schools to educate about religion, it is unlawful for state-funded schools and their representatives to watch strict occasions, advance strict convictions, or practice religion. So Public school authorities do, obviously, have an established right to express their strict convictions time permitting.

Along these lines, sorting out petition sessions in a government-funded school can hurt the Establishment Clause that restricts the condition of supporting religions, since state-funded schools are financed by the legislature.
