My issue most certainly IS with the State because it cleared the way for this kind of funding to take place. Obviously the private groups needed the assistance of the state government to unlock doors in order to allow this kind of scholarship funding.

I wonder if any of those private companies are charitable corporations that receive grants from the government.
