Christian Ethics

I recently enrolled in a class called “Theory of Knowledge.” The purpose of this class is to question opinions and discover the origin of belief.

We were discussing “right” and “wrong” action when the idea of ethics was brought up.
I believed this was going to be an interesting discussion and I believed I would be able to discuss Nietzsche and the pagan philosophies. …. However, the teacher assumed that the Judea/Christian ethics were correct and did not address any other philosophies… He did not even acknowledge the existence of another code of ethics.

This disgusted me.

I later looked a the curriculum and discovered that this class valued certain opinions over others. I feel this is a great error on the part of the school board. How can opinions be discussed openly if some opinions and beliefs are more equal than others?

Enlighten me

because and to put it simply, its Christians that sit on the boards of these schools and fund the curriculum. exactly the same reason the creationism is being tought in science classes in many American schools.

Crikey! I’m glad I wasn’t educated in America then!

yep, and I go to school in the North-East… the more liberal area…
I don’t think this is a purely American problem
I don’t doubt that this same issue takes place throughout the world

I’m in Australia, and a few years back I did some volunteer work at a Primary School as a teacher’s aide.
I was appalled to find they were teaching kids R.E.
It was a public school too. Not a Christian one :O

I’d go to the media. If you get enough people behind you, it will change.

Because legally, you’re sh*t out of luck.

Funny that this is an ethics issue and an ethics class, and the teacher is the one being unethical.
