I want to make sure you understand that character education as I see it
goes beyond personal beliefs such as religious and political preference, to
the heart of what is common to all people. Character education, in my
opinion is the universal traits that everyone agrees are important. These
traits affirm human worth and dignity and society can not exist without
them. Many different list have been produced with the common themes. I
appreciate a list, titled Pillars of Ethical Literacy, produced by the
Character Development Foundation in Manchester, NH. I will share the list
with you. I hope it works into your discussion of Inherit the Wind. I have
never read the book. Sorry I can't be more specific.
