This is EXACTLY my objection to the so-called "values clarification" programming/indoctrination. Through this, they ARE teaching a values system. Better keep your eyes open, because the values being taught may not be values you agree with. Want a small example? Keep in mind my daughter graduated High Screwall in 1988. Some years earlier than that there was a TV movie broadcast about teen suicide. We read the reviews, decided that this movie was off limits to our TV. The very next week, the script to this show was used in our daughter's "language arts" class, she assigned to write an essay, explain what she thought the "message" of this show is. Some social engineering at work here? You bet your Donkey. Does this engineering go against the values we wished to instill in our daughter? You betcha!
