"[The current proposed ethics course] is a course which I believe does not teach children right from wrong but promotes the secular, humanist relativist philosophy."Which obviously leads him straight to the conclusion that:
"I believe this is the philosophy that we saw during World War Two with the Nazis and the communists."Is it the job of the tax-payers to pay for whichever cult wants their kids brainwashed at school (presumably because they can't be bothered to do it at home)? Should religious 'education' even be part of a rational and empirical education system? Is allowing an ethics course, which teaches kids instead to rely on their own values system instead of others', a meaningful alternative? These questions and more, Nile couldn't care less about.
It's a lot safer to hold your hands over your ears and scream naughty words, Rev. Nile. Otherwise you might have a generation of Australians with their eyes open to universal ethics systems. And you'd probably lose whatever votes you are clinging to.
