A NEW chaplaincy program would not force religion on children but would give them more choices, federal Education Minister Julie Bishop said today.

Under the initiative, all schools will be able to apply for a subsidy of up to $20,000 a year to employ a chaplain.

The chaplains will not be expected to have a religious background but will be required to provide spiritual guidance to students.

This would be a major positive for safety in our workplaces with the values these chaplians could pass onto those kids providing for more responsible workforce. It also would provide the kids with answers that Evolutionalism doesn't provide.
