Bev Eakman said she received a copy of a seven-point list of the values teachers should try to instill in their students. The list was given to educators in North Carolina at an in-service workshop. They were:

    * There is no right or wrong, only conditioned responses.

    * The collective good is more important than the individual.

    * Consensus is more important than principle.

    * Flexibility is more important than accomplishment.

    * Nothing is permanent except change.

    * All ethics are situational; there are no moral absolutes.

    * There are no perpetrators, only victims.
