No, it isn't different with regard to children. They are learning as moral norms the standards the school upholds.
For instance, if the school is racially segregated, racial segregation will the inculcated moral norm. If teachers punish both bullies and their victims equally or fail to punish bullies at all, then "expect no justice from authorities" and "might makes right" will be the inculcated moral norm. The social environment of the school is inculcated into children as the culture's moral norm.
BS... it's absolutely different, unless your some social activist.
To my knowledge there are no segregated public schools.
Bullies fall into the category where the resource office comes into play... at least in my school system. If bullies are 'tolerated' or not dealt with, that is the school failing to uphold moral values, rules and laws.... which are covered by discriminatory harassment, which is covered under federal civil rights laws.
Instilling morality that is the "Six Pillars" include trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship is appropriate. Example of indoctrination is teaching children that America was founded on systemic racism.

You just contradicted your own argument, very precisely and neatly.
That's actually a concept right out of leftist postmodernism theory--the idea that there is no right and wrong, no good and bad. So when a leftist is outraged by someone saying slavery or Nazis are not bad... it's yet another example of their hypocrisy.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, is slavery bad? Of course it is. Are Nazis bad? Of course they are.
are pedophiles bad? Or should we seek to understand and accept them?
is declaring or a sexual preference or gender preference for the purposes of getting attention bad? Is promoting it?
Is human slavery wrong? Sure. Is it a stain on our nation's overall history? Sure. Were we unique? No. Does slavery still exist? Yes.
All of us did. Which is exactly why we re so up in arms about them trying to white wash it now and stop that kind of education.
you're up in arms because you've allowed yourself to be led to believe there's any widespread effort to deny the existence of slavery, or to position it as a good thing for Blacks.
I saw one the other day I can’t remember what state, where they wanted to call slavery “forced relocation”instead of slavery. We are witnessing the beginning of the literal whitewashing of history.
Texas. For some reason, a board of 9 people in charge of curriculum updates said "involuntary relocation" is what should be taught to 2nd graders as social studies. It was rejected by the State board.
The real facts that should be taught about slavery:
- North America only represented 3% of the entire slave trade, meaning 97% of slaves landed into the Caribbean, Central and South America.
- Over the course 341 years of the slave trade 310k were imported into North America, 40% of this number came from the Caribbean.
- The founding of the USA was the Declaration that "All men should be created equal". The colonies first needed to unite to fight off the British, then determine its laws, on what is right and wrong which included slavery. The USA needed to incorporate slave owned states to be a nation.
- 1.6% of the entire population owned slave, 98.4% of all Americans did not own slaves.
- 5% of the entire White American male population died in a war, fighting, which ended slavery.
But they will doggedly defend having monuments to those antebellum "liberals" who supported slavery.
But the bottom line is righties are happy to talk about how awful slavery is...
As long as you don't belabor the point that effectively white people were the slave owners in the United States. You stay away from that issue and they are good.
To point out that White people were the slave owners is where "fact" becomes "opinion"...you see.
oh, being from the South and a "rightie", and a white one at that, I don't deign to try and claim the "Democrats" of 1865 in the country or even 1965 in the South are the same as the Democrat Party today.
However, it would be accurate to teach slavery in America as not a purely only in America, white and Black, or South vs rest of country issue.
And yet, there are adults saying it was not bad and wanting that message to be taught.
Also, that the Holocaust might never have even happened.
And that the earth is flat.
and there are nutjobs on both ends of the spectrum.
