The state has been denying otherwise available tuition assistance to students who choose a "pervasively sectarian" school since 1977. The College Opportunity Fund is merely the most recent context in which the state has committed such discrimination. The Tenth Circuit's decision does not create any "mess" that needs to be "fixed."
