Volunteer sir sanders zingmore Posted June 21, 2012 Volunteer Posted June 21, 2012 There are many topics raised in this article that are worthy of the great debaters of SNA. One of these is whether the school chaplaincy program is a good thing. It seems there has been some sort of victory for those who think it isn't. However, the victory was not on the grounds of church-state separation but rather on funding. And the funding decision may have far reaching effects, not least of which is funding for private schools This decision will force the federal government back to the drawing board to consider what programs it funds and how. Unless it does this as a matter of priority, others may be emboldened to bring further challenges. Direct federal funding of local government, including the Roads to Recovery program, continues to be subject to considerable doubt. The Commonwealth may also be on vulnerable ground in the education sector generally. Questions can be raised about direct federal funding of private schools and universities. Support for community groups, the arts and sports may also be in issue http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/politics/chaplaincy-ruling-casts-doubt-on-federal-programs-20120620-20ocb.html

Super Mustud Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 The parasites are killing the host. It can't last forever. Good point, Jake. The parasitic feeding by government schools on the public purse is outrageous. Until all parents realise that they need to kick in more, as do the parents of kids at private schools, our education system will continue to falter.
Super Mustud Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 I don't believe in free speech. Most governments would agree with you.
