All the moral codes mankind has ever had have not made mankind any more moral.  Even mankind's religions have just added to the intolerance and bloodshed.  No one has ever been able to come up with a moral code that all can agree with, without a great deal of coercion, if not violent repression.  What's more, many cultures have had morals that were far out of sync with the morals of other cultures. 


I voted no, but with reservations. 


Nonetheless, it might not be such a bad idea to teach some sort of ethics in secondary schools, were it done carefully and with the caveats that no universal agreement ever has and ever will be achieved.
