From the earliest times in America, teachers have believed that schools should teach moral values. What good is a child who knows when Columbus
discovered America but can't tell right from wrong? The most popular reading
instruction books in the nineteenth century were the "McGuffy Readers," which
taught children to read through stories of increasing complexity.
Each story also taught children a moral lesson about values such as honesty, hard work, integrity, perseverance, compassion, obedience to
parents Authentic
Ryan Fitzpatrick Jersey , respect for others? rights, and indi-vidual
responsibility. Up to the 1930s, most schools in America reinforced the
Judeo-Christian values most parents taught their children at home.
Today, many school authorities seem to have contempt for religion and traditional moral values. They force children to endure years of ?values
clarification? classes, which teach children that all moral values are
subjective and meaningless. Many teacher-facilitators, as some now prefer to
call themselves, teach kids that whatever feels good at the moment or whatever
the group considers acceptable is a ?good? value.
Most parents, when asked in surveys Authentic
Josh Rosen Jersey , say they want schools to teach their children such
traditional Western values as honesty, hard work, integrity, justice, self
control, responsibility, respect for parents, and fidelity in marriage.
Unfortunately Authentic
Michael Deiter Jersey , those values are not what most public schools
teach.
Values-clarification programs often pretend to teach children real values to pacify parents, but textbooks used in values-clarification classes often censor
or distort traditional family and religious values.
Dr. Paul Vitz did a study on these textbooks, funded by the National Institute of discovered that traditional family and Judeo-Christian values had
been eliminated from children's textbooks. He studied forty social studies
textbooks used by first to fourth-grade public-school students and found no
mention of the words 'marriage,? ?wedding,? ?husband,? or ?wife.? These
textbooks commonly defined a ?family? simply as a group of people.
Values clarification (sometimes now called "character education" or other names, depending on the public school)differs radically from traditional moral
codes because it claims that children do not need established values to make
moral choices. Values clarification teachers don't care which values children
choose because in their view all values are subjective. The right value, they
assert Authentic
Christian Wilkins Jersey , depends on the situation and the individual --
a value is good if it ?works? for a particular child at a particular time.
To many values clarification teacher-facilitators, cheating, lying, stealing, or having casual sex with other students are not bad acts in themselves. Such
actions are just unfortunate choices that students make, depending on
circumstances and personality traits, out of many alternative moral choices.
Abiding by the Ten Commandments is merely one such option.
Values clarification classes deliberately teach children to be nonjudgmental about moral values. Values-clarification debates often turn into "bull" sessions
where each student gives their opinion about a moral issue but conclusions are
never reached. In these classes, the teacher-facilitator often acts like a
talk-show host who gets the students to debate such topics as the merits or bad
consequences of
stealing Authentic
Minkah Fitzpatrick Jersey , lying, pre-marital sex, or taking drugs.
In sex-education classes, sexual behavior is often described in purely mechanical terms and sexual choices are presented as morally neutral options or
simply personal preferences each student has to decide for themselves.
Similarly, in many drug-education programs the same non-judgemental attitude
often prevails -- students are encouraged to talk about the good and bad
consequences of taking drugs without reaching a clear moral conclusion.
Many public schools teach children that only self gratification and their feelings of the moment matter, that there are no moral absolutes. Admittedly,
some parents are to blame for not teaching their children good ethical values,
but values clarification programs are an assault on the time-tested values most
parents teach their children.
Since ancient times Authentic
Dan Marino Jersey , all societies have known that certain acts are
inherently wrong and immoral. This knowledge became embedded in a cultural or
religious moral code, which recognized that human beings must respect each
other's person and property. Judaism and Christianity, for example, teach that
lying, stealing, or murdering another human being is wrong, not only because
they're prohibited by the Ten Commandments, but because they are inherently
unjust to other human beings.
With rare exceptions Jake
Rudock Jersey , such as killing in self-defense, the morality of these
basic values seldom depends on the situation or the individual. All of us are
born with the same rights to life, liberty, and property. Respect for each
other's rights and person simply reflects this fact of life.
Because values clarification programs teach children that all values are subjective, they destroy real values and corrupt children at the deepest level.
If all values are subjective, there is no moral difference between mercy and
murder, honesty and theft, sexual consent and
rape Dwayne
Allen Jersey , loyalty and treachery, or fidelity and adultery.
In a world where anything goes, children are turned into amoral creatures who will do anything to satisfy their momentary desires. Yet these are the insidious
moral anti-values that many public schools now promote with values-clarification
classes.
