Noddy, that's quite all right. She's an irritating bimbo. Not to imply that they all are....

Craven--

Tired old stereotypes from a jaded old woman who has sufficient years to be awash with testosterone of Her Very Own.

Sugar--

Vanity, vanity, all is vanity.

religion is as American as apple pie ...

but the more government meddles with institutional faith the more they are liable to try to control it, promoting one over another or mold into their tool.

then 'poof' no more freedom of religion.

of course not. You don't necessarily have to endorse one religion over another to study theology.

... if you get a government grant to study to be a minister in a Christian college that would be fine. But as long there isn't a wall for say a person to get a government grant to study to be a wiccan priestess at the local community college.

Christian colleges are not public, so if there was theology money from the gov't it would come from grants. You're right, Jugbo, if they don't offer it to all theology programs undiscriminately that would be wrong.

I'm kind of from the 'all or nothing' school of thought on this one.

what's good from one or a few must be made good for all.

IMO Student loans should be afforded for any study discipline. However, aid in the form of gov't grants and scholarships should be disallowed. But than what do I know I believe, in opposition to the USSC, that vouchers to be used for study in parochial schools should also be disallowed. It seems to me we are at a point now where separation of church and state is to be selectively adhered to.

I don't have the exact figures, but nearly two thirds of Beauty School Students default on Student Loans. Evidently the defaulters assume that the classes will give them the know how to make themselves irresistiable and when they discover that the course work involves both book learning and harsh chemicals they drop out--and don't repay the student loans.

Oh yes, I can vouch for that. Some moron with the same name as my wife defaulted on her beauty school loan and every now and then, I get some really rude collection agents calling from time to time thinking my wife is her. My lawyers straightened them out eventually by threatening to sue the ever-loving shit out of them for harassment and mental anguish if they ever called again (I'm still hoping they will, honestly).

Aid
i feel aid should be awarded equally independant of the major as long as the student is attending a public college. However, theology should never be considered a "science" and scholarships which are set aside for students in the "sciences" should never be given to theology students. Only money that is intended for general students, or students of theology, and in some cases philosophy should be awarded to theology students.
