In a setback to supporters of school vouchers to pay for religious school, the Supreme Court ruled yesterday that states can withhold public scholarships from students preparing for the ministry. According to the New York Times the 7-2 decision was a “decisive rejection of the proposition that a government that subsidizes a secular activity must necessarily, as a matter of the constitutional free exercise of religion, subsidize the comparable religious activity as well.”
