Teaching Values In School
But can the public schools do it? That in-fact is the true question of this controversial bulletin, which can almost surely set up dozens upon dozens of wildfires across the nation. From "Suburb to Ghettos" anybody who has even a breath of a word will most likely speak it with the wrath and ferocity of an incensed animal dying to protect his/her cubs from harm. The questions that arise like, the undead are: What morals do we teach, and most importantly who's right & who's wrong?

If you want to follow through with a choice and grow & learn from it, or run away from it and never understand anything at all." Strong statement don't you think?
Who's Right & Who's Wrong?
In deciding an answer to a question like this, I think no denomination or community is right.
