State can refuse to fund ministry students

• Miseducation

The state of Washington doesn't have to pay for Joshua Davey to study theology.

The 7-2 decision, written by Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, rejected the notion that divinity students are entitled to equal treatment when it comes to receiving state money.

Instead, the court upheld the principle of separation of church and state — a key feature of the state constitutions in California and 36 other states — and held that the interest of the states outweighed the claim of religious discrimination.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about State can refuse to fund ministry students. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
