Moral relativism dulls our critical thinking and enables noxious ideologies like those that seek to normalize pedophilia and drag queen performances in our education system.
It is a sign of our times that movements have emerged to teach pedophilia in schools and to subject children to drag queen performances. Perversions like this are borne of an insidious attitude known as moral relativism.
As the term suggests, moral relativism is the belief that morality is subjective rather than objective. That is, what is right and wrong varies from person to person instead of emerging from a fixed universal standard, meaning that there are no ultimate moral truths. Before examining why such a view is incoherent, it is worth considering why ordinary people have been seduced into believing it. There are two major reasons. The first is that, because there is widespread disagreement about matters of right and wrong, morality is assumed to be subjective. The second stems from a pervasive attitude that it is “intolerant” to uphold a fixed standard of morality. Both reasons are flimsy.
Take the first. There is no doubt that across cultures and throughout history, individuals and even societies have differed over what constitutes right and wrong. But that hardly proves that morality is “subjective.” Consider that nearly every one of us recognizes that slavery is wrong, even though it was widely practiced in the past. But do we regard it as wrong merely because society today tells us that it is, or do we know that it is wrong intrinsically? Put another way, if slavery were reinstituted by popular vote tomorrow, would we accept such an outcome without reservation, or would we recognize it as an abomination? The simple fact is that we cannot help but know core moral truths, no matter how confused

Brilliant observation.
No. The moral relativism is just the first stage to confuse kids and students, so that their capitalist and traditional family values cane be scraped off, and their souls filled with the magic elixir of socialism.
