There are little old ladies on fixed-incomes who basically subsist on their social security payments. Tax money is sent to them. And what do they do? They drop a buck or two in the church collection plate! Hey, it's their money, right? They can choose to spend it that way, right?

Why couldn't Washington give this kid $6000 for college? As long as he spends it on a college education, why is there a problem?

It's an exercise in futility to say that money which passes through government's hands must never go toward religious institutions. That goal cannot be reached and it is repressive to try to attain it. Scalia is right -- there is no neutrality here at all. It's anti-religious discrimination pure and simple.

Yup.

The real question is "Why is the state handing out scholarships?" Just cut everyones taxes, let them save their money and spend it as they wish, and get rid of the social engineering in government approved majors in government approved schools.

I haven't read the whole article (sorry)and I hope someone else hasn't already mentioned this, but what about the GI Bill? I used it to fund my BA in Biblical Studies and my MDiv--which I just finished this semester.
