I agree with supersix2 that the core mission of the school should be teaching the students and preparing them for the complex world. But holding diversity week or something like that does not necessarily diminish that mission. I also think students should be taught to think about moral values. It is stupid to teach the kid 300 years worth of cumulative knowledge of physics in 2 semesters yet ignore thousands of years' worth of knowledge and ponderings about morality, human mind and the nature, and expect the student to arrived at their world view just based on their parents' ramblings and prejudices, and the TV.
