Agree with the idea of making hard choices. Disagree on the use of life and death for people that a 5th grader may not know much about. A prostitute? A former junkie?

How about “Shaquon was invited out to meet some local gang bangers to go along on stealing a car and going on a joy ride. Should he ride in the front seat, the back seat, or stay home. If he stays home should he play video games or do his homework that is due tomorrow?”

Well I did say the list of people was a bit odd. But overall it’s nothing new, as many have pointed out on this thread having similar class discussions 30, 40 and 50 years ago. And getting all up in arms about it now is kinda silly.

No, it’s not.

It was destructive then

and led to folk like you who seem to embrace relative subjective amorality

and to the destructiin of our nation as we are all witnessing now.

It was flat out evil then

and is still flat out evil now.

Imo.

It isn’t destructive. Life has hard choices. Always has, always will. If school is trying to prepare kids for adulthood they need training in making hard choices. It’s way more destructive to raise a generation of kids that can’t cope with life’s harsh realities. While most of the decisions we have to go through aren’t as intense as who lives and who dies. We still have to balance the short term and the long term, our goals vs our needs, ourselves vs our family, fun vs smart.

We have to make these decisions every day. And if you’ve ever mocked anybody for bad choices then you want them to learn these things. THIS is how you learn good choices early, before you ruin your credit rating.

I agree. And that is a good phrase - subjective amorality. Without the objective truth of God - that we are all created in his image with each containing inherent worth - then these exercises are simply people floundering in ignorance with no good answers. Teachers who foist these things on their classes take creepy delight in confusing and shocking their students with this deconstructive nonsense.

11. An 80 year old life-long grifter and no-account who amassed an illicit $100 million selling influence through his crime family. Currently masquerading as POTUS.

It’s an interesting thought piece. I thought this would be about pronouns or transexuality.
