Define "morals"

Submitted by Lynn on Tue, 02/27/2007 - 11:37am.

If by "morals" you mean a set of commonly-agreed-upon *civic* values, then yes, education could and should be informed by such. Where this gets messy is when the morals to be taught are decided by majority religious fiat. Morality and religion do not depend on one another. We all know righteous atheists and degenerate believers (whether you think you do or not).
