The key here is whether a state may deny religious institutions or instruction from competing for state money that follows the student, if it so chooses. I hope and trust the result will flip if the issue is whether a may allow such to occur. I would also think the same argument would obtain if the federal government wishes to allow faith based institutions to compete for federal dollars for social welfare services, provided the criteria for choosing who gets the money does not give bonus points or demerits for an institution being faith based.

Can a state deny a black institution from competing for state money.....so it's OK to discriminate against religion but not skin color?
