This really makes me bitterly sad. I read years ago that Hitler said, “Our goal is to create a generation without a conscience.” In America today, I’m afraid the liberals have succeeded where Hitler failed.
You're right. Even when they teach 'values' it's from that idiotic viewpoint of 'ethics at the fringe' where it really can be hard to figure out right from wrong. That said, most people NEVER are faced with ethics that obscure - so the point of teaching it, is to tell children there's no real answers. And of course there are answers. Ethics at the level most people function at are relatively simple.
This is just one more reason to feel disgust with the liberal union-run educational system in the country.
