What’s amazing to me is that these parents are paying $40k a year to send their kids to this school.
According to some parents I know of students there, the school stands behind the Dean and has emailed parents asking them not to disseminate this story.
The parents are unaware. They’re trying to climb the ladder and send their kids to better schools than they were able to. They don’t realize the institutional capture that has occurred the last few decades. For the first two centuries of this countries history you didn’t have to worry about these freaks in schools, so learning that behavior takes time. Time to root the cretins out, time to blow up the public education system, time for shift your kid to a school where they won’t be playing with dildos.
It's non-denominational, hence the lack of morals. Might as well be.
No, but not enough to rock the boat.
Morality does not require religion or belief in the supernatural.
Who says it is immoral for me to kill you, steal your land and steal your wife just because I feel like it? Is it immoral when a grizzly bear does that to another grizzly bear? Why should humans be any different?
Who says it is immoral to marry and have sex with a 13-year-old, enslave another human being, or commit genocide? Who says we should not treat women like property or rape the female children of our enemies? Not the Judeo-Christian god, that's for sure.
Me, you, everyone on this board, and 99.9% of human beings.
So you believe our rights are grounded in law, accordingly the government can remove those rights if they see fit or with enough votes, and that would be just.
1. Do you approve? If not, why do you go so far out of your way to put fingers in your ears and say "nuh uh" as opposed to just saying, "that's not right"? Edit to add: You did end up saying this later in the thread. Kudos. I don't know why that gets to be so hard on these sometimes though.
Yes, I disagree with this.
Accordingly, you believe if enough people used their brain to come to the conclusion that all Jews should be sent to camps and killed, and we enact laws to that extent, there is nothing immoral about that, just as long as the agreement is broad enough.
We can do this to each other all day. It won't solve anything and we aren't going to convince each other. I respect you have certain beliefs, even if I think they are false, and I admit I have false beliefs (we all do).
I think that having a belief in something outside of humanity as an underpinning helps to keep morality grounded and consistent (not that religious people will consistently act more morally, but that the actions themselves are likely to be viewed the same from year to year).
While I find it uncomfortable, I'm OK with the concept of no true morality.
The issue with your claim is most people do believe in a supernatural being. You're assuming if we strip out religions, everyone just continues on hunky dory(couldn't find a better word). I'm not sure that would be the case. I think we would see more police states like China. Also, common acceptance by a group, just turns into who is most powerful.
Done.
I think they would. Our concepts of right and wrong are motivated by our feelings. Those won’t change without the lack of belief in a supernatural being.
Of course your moral. You’re a child of God and designed in his image. I had to 😁
Her original complaint might have been much ado about nothing (or at least about very little), but any retaliation whatsoever by the school is beyond the pale.
To me and you, maybe, but I don't think it's the part that gets most hackles up.
I hate that excuse. I'm not saying you are using it here, but the people who are doing stuff like this do use it.
