Religion and government are two things that most people would like to keep separate. The question needing an answer is, if a student receives a government scholarship that he/she can use to go to any school of his/her choosing, can a private(and religious) school be one of his options. Some people think that the student and their parents/guardians should get to pick which ever school they would like to go to. A school that could help the student thrive better. If this school was to be a religious school then should the government scholarship be able to be used to help pay for the students entry fee? Should government be able to say that you can not use a scholarship to go to a religious school that could help a student learn better, in once case found in the Washington Post article, a boy with social problems does better in a smaller learning environment which can not be accessed at a small school, but at a private school smaller classes are easier to get into. Popular Sovereignty says that a state is free for the federal government to have any say on its domestic policy. If the state government says that the parent of a child who has won a scholarship can't send their child to a religious school, but the federal government says they can, should they be able to? Do they get the right to give a government given scholarship to a religious school?
