W: Unfortunately, liberals would scream blue murder if schools went back to teaching social virtues

B: I'm a Liberal and I would be fine with schools teaching social virtues as long as freedom of/from religion was respected.

The first amendment talks about freedom from religion. It says nothing about teaching social virtues. You'd be amazed at how far you can go with "Don't be a d**k". Treating others with respect and accepting them for who they are and what they bring to the table requires no belief in a higher power.

John Scalzi, an amazing sci-fi writer, wrote a great blog entry from personal experience:

For every "oh s/he's just lazy" you can also find the John Scalzi's who did manage to get the break they needed to extract themselves from poverty. But it shouldn't take "that one break".
