I was not speaking of religion. Maybe we agree, then, that in the context of a public school, MORAL ABSOLUTES such as "Cheating is wrong," "Stealing is wrong," "Assault is wrong," "Destruction of property is wrong," etc., would be appropriate lessons.

My experience with "ethics" is that you couldn't expect a firm statement such as, "Cheating is wrong," and in that case, "ethics" wouldn't do much for the school's cheating problem.
