Thanks for that link ... the salient points of the article above and the link intersect here:
What "new values" are educators trying to instill? Here is a seven-point list, given to educators in North Carolina at an in-service workshop:
There is no right or wrong, only conditioned responses.
The collective good is more important than the individual.
Consensus is more important than principle.
Flexibility is more important than accomplishment.
Nothing is permanent except change.
All ethics are situational; there are no moral absolutes.
There are no perpetrators, only victims.
Notice that all of the items on this list involve no particular issue; rather, they reflect ethical "outcomes" that a child is supposed to "internalize."

Sobering - and frightening.
There is nothing, then, that is "wrong" in this view of the world:
No wonder such "educators" vote for Hillary! in such numbers: anything a liberal wants is okay .... because the "idea" of a moral life, followed by a life after (in heaven or hell) is completely foreign - even "forbidden" to them.
Can you get me the conference and school district this came from?
It will be important in tracking a few things down.

Very interesting. Context and references? That would be very, very useful. Thanks.
