Correct Answer
A. Banning school prayerExplanation

Vitale, sparked a cultural and political conflict in the United States. It led to a debate over the separation of church and state, with religious conservatives arguing that the decision infringed upon their freedom of religion. This controversy became a significant aspect of the broader culture war in America, as different groups clashed over issues of morality, religion, and individual rights.Rate this question:
