If you need school, particularly college, to teach you right from wrong you are pretty much royally effed to begin with.

Sheeple are easier to herd. Easier to control. Only need one dog to control a hundred sheeple. Sheeple with morals become people that are free and don't want live any other way.

The public US university I went to required everyone to take an ethics and values philosophy class.

You wanna conspiracy, you better be seated for this one.
I've always been good at getting good grades, not saying I am smart just street smart within school context.
Out of high school I went straight to University of Victoria and later transferred to UBC giant well known University in Vancouver.
I've studied all kinds of things and when I needed to build credits I took variety of courses out of pure interest
Schools will teach you all kinds of useful and useless stuff, but they simply won't teach you to be a moral member of society.
GET THIS because this is fascinating
You can have 1-10 diplomas on your wall and in all that time no one bothered to teach you right from wrong.
Oh sure you can take philosophy courses that drown you in pointless scenarios that border on sci-fi
You can take divinity courses that teach religious dogma
Sure you can take sociology courses that teach how morality is in the eye of beholder, as if killing or torturing someone against their will is just a matter of personal-cultural perspective
And students lap this stuff up
Sickening
Even if you go into medical, they teach you do no harm STRICTLY in the context of surgery/healing. Nothing to do with being a moral person.
A society that will teach you anything you want, except how to think morally act morally
Service to self society, everything based on fear and greed.
EXACTLY HOW GOVERNMENT AND BANKERS LIKE IT
say it ain't true
How is it that designers of school programs (guys with PhDs) skip over these:
Tell the truth
Be kind to others
Obey laws
Question unjust laws
Help others if you can
Don't let yourself be used by unscrupulous
Uphold justice
Uphold truth as personal duty
Maintain healthy body
And lets face it, this would naturally lead to :
Measure your leaders and government by the above list.
Oh, now you see why schools don't teach morality.
