144. I would have to say yes. The point of the program would be to see
that people are trained for a career in life. Whether the career is auto mechanic, teacher, book keeper, or Imam, they all serve society in some manner.

Yes, religion can cause problems and you might wind up training a Falwell-esque type alongside of a Jimmy Carter or Jesse Jackson. But since you might also be sending a kid to medical school where he decides he wants to make designer killer viruses for the DOD or to business school where she learns how to kill off mom and pop stores, I guess we have to consider that we may not necessarily approve of what these people will do with their education, and just work from the point that everyone deserves an education/training in the first place.
