Hi Richard
Thanks for the pointer however we are simply relaying this article from a major media outlet, using the same title. The title does not contradict your (correct) observation that the high court finding relates to the way that funds are distributed and hence the fact that the finding may relate to all initiatives that are funded in this way. Perhaps you should take this up with the journalist/editor who coined the title in the first place?

please get your facts right the reading “Chaplain program is unconstitutional” is wrong the high court threw out the challenge concerning Chaplains and found it to be constitutional but the real issue is the way funds are distributed to areas which in effect makes everyone funding applications problematic
