I was listening to NPR yestersay, when I learned that now scholarships to divinity students were in jepardy, with critics (of course) citing "seperation of church and state".
Here is an except from NPR's website on the story:
http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=1529032
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday hears arguments in a case testing whether divinity students have a constitutional right to the same taxpayer-funded scholarships as students enrolled in non-religious programs. The high court's decision could have repercussions far beyond state-funded college scholarship programs.
So basically, federal monies (i.e. federal/state sponosred student loans, Pell grants, etc.) should not be given to divinity students, stating that doing so, the gov't is "endorsing" or supporting a religion.
What is everyone's take on this?
Seperation of church and state - scholarships
