A Refusal to Teach Values

The third and final fault that Greenleaf sees with the entire educational enterprise (Here are the first and second ones) is the state of confusion around the teaching of values. He asks the following questions:

• Is it only appropriate to teach about values and make no judgments about what they ought to be?
• Is this really an adequate role for schools and colleges?
• Should not schools be importantly concerned with value clarification so that students are given as firm a basis as possible for making the choices they have always made - even when the schools presumed to know what their values ought to be?

What is the role of colleges (public & private) to teach values? Can servant leadership be taught, can a commitment to the common good be taught, can a desire to 'do the right thing' be taught without making judgments about what these things are?
