Do you think one big message in Abolition was the teaching of the young there were no objective truths

[AndyTheBear]

Well it was his starting point that there was a trend in education that conditioned the young to assume that value judgements were mere sentiment and it was foolish to hold values valid, but rather one should be a clever chap and see through them all. Not that they were being taught that as a reasoned philosophy, but rather that they were conditioned to assume it without really giving the matter critical attention.

However he went beyond this point and I would not consider it his main point.
