I don't see anything wrong with getting a scholarship for a degree in religion, regardless of which one it is. It's denying the guy of an education because he wants to major in a religous field. Government funding should be used. It's no different than getting a degree in anything else. The guy should be able to study whatever religion he wanted to.

The case began in 1999, when Davey qualified for a Promise Scholarship, a state-funded program for high-achieving students of modest means... Once it was awarded, it was taken away for the single reason that he wanted to use it to study for the ministry.
It dosen't matter if he changes his major to ministry. It's for educational purposes and that is what alot of people aren't seeing in this court case. They're makeing too big of a deal that it has something to do with religion, and that frankly is none of their business and shouldn't have any effect on their decision. Fork it over Uncle Sam, he qualified for the scholarship fair and square. It's not religion, it's the study of ancient culture, history, and philosophy.
