Letter : Moral education or indoctrination?
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Sir: On 31 October 1987 Woman's Own printed the statement by Baroness Thatcher that "there is no such thing as society". On 31 October 1996 you printed part of the proposed "code of values" on which the School Curriculum and Assessment Authority is consulting. It declares that "we value families ... as the basis of a society in which people care for others". Have the Conservatives recreated society in exactly nine years?
