Since we are talking about Davey and free speech--one of my favorite subjects to teach and think about--let's consider some different versions of the Promise Scholarship.

What about a scholarship that covered all majors except:

1. "gender studies from a feminist perspective" Violate Fr Sp Cl?

2. "economics from a socialist perspective"  Same question?

3. "Theology that rejects the divinity of Christ"

Does this violate the Fr Sp Cl?  Does it constitute denominational discrimination under the EC? If so, than isn't this also true of a scholarship that distinguishes between devotional theology majors and non-devotional theology majors?
