Queensland Humanists challenge state money for school chaplains
Submitted by Matt on 8 August, 2011 - 08:35The Humanist Society of Queensland (HSQ), in northeastern Australia, is putting its money where its mouth is by financially supporting a legal challenge to government funding of school chaplains. Queensland parent Ron Williams is challenging the constitutional validity of the National School Chaplaincy Program (NCSP), which now receives almost a billion dollars in federal government funding. The groundbreaking case will be heard before the full bench of the High Court of Australia in Canberra this week (9-11 August, 2011).
