The "values clarification" curriculum is a secular humanist program designed to help children to rebel against the traditional values of their parents. It tells students they are absolutely justified to choose whatever values they want, regardless of the impact that choice has on other people. In other words, it promotes an utter self-centered perspective.
The curriculum is promoted under the guise of simply "clarifying" values but actually encourages children to think completely independent of parents, church or the larger society. The idea that one should be dedicated to something bigger than oneself is forbidden: teachers are not allowed to "impose" this value on children!
