of public discourse. Popular opinion has been that educational
reform will never be genuinely accomplished without improving our
moral education at schools. Proponents of this view insist that
improving moral education must constitute the first agenda in the
nation's program for educational reform. And what they mean by

hours allotted to the teaching of religion.

easier it is to send soldiers to troubled areas than to extricate
them. But NATO's efforts to promote peace in the Balkans are
honorable, and they reflect an important and welcome development:
the increasing reluctance of the world community to stand aside
when conflicts and atrocities occur.
