"Maybe not, but the nature of a Divinity is such that the recipient of the degree can only use his education, by its nature, to work for a certain religious denomination. Thst is not the case with a law, history, medicine or any other degree."

And people who obtain specialized engineering degrees are limited on where they can work. Does that mean I don't have to fund them? What about someone who is getting a degree in a subject I object to from a religious perspective. Do I have to fund their education?

There seems to be a double standard going on.

Sure, but the benefits of their engineering degrees are not limited to, say, Presbyterians.

What about someone who is getting a degree in a subject I object to from a religious perspective. Do I have to fund their education?

You're not free to break the law, but you are free to petition for a change in the law. The state could cut off funding for, say, Women' Studies, if it wanted to.

Actually, the states can fund Divinity degrees if they want. Nothing in this opinion would stop them from doing so.
