 Description
In the session on Moral and Values Education at the first Congress on Education in June 1978, trustees and educators from across the United States and Canada lined up at the audience microphones to challenge conference speakers to move beyond vague, global statements about values. They urged the speakers to define moral precepts we can all accept and try to live by, as distinct from the philosophy of individual and moral relativism. These participants were asking, “Moral Values Education – should I buy it? In what form?”
