The schools put standards on who may study subjects.
Your argument that allowing a divinity student to have the same scholarship offered to EVERY SINGLE OTHER PERSON IN THE WORLD somehow opens the door to paying for wacko religions is nonsense.

Secondly, if we fund religon 'A', we must equally fund religon 'B'. Members of all relgions are garanteed equal protection under the law. Whether you consider them 'wacko' or not. If I belong to "Billy-Bob's Church of the Eternal Possum", and you get to go to your seminary on taxpayer dollars; guess what? I get to go to mine too. Do you really want a bunch of Eternal Possum Missionaries running around on your tax dollars?
