I dont want any institution pushing their morality on me or my family. |

There has to be some fallback system. A little scary in idea but kinda true.
Kindergarten rules are all you really need. Don't take what isn't your, don't die, don't eat the paste, and don't pee everywhere. |

said by TKJunkMail :and not just business, or chemistry, or liberal arts, etc. Sorry, but given the tuition that colleges and universities charge, they better damned well be focusing exclusively on "business, or chemistry, or liberal arts, etc." or whatever the hell I've paid my money for to go there.
said by TKJunkMail :And anything that stops music thievery helps the RIAA. College students are the biggest thieves of all. Last I checked, most colleges' and universities' primary missions were to benefit higher learning, in general, and the institutions' student communities, not the RIAA. In fact, I'm pretty damned sure that if you check the original charters of 99.999999999999999% of all colleges and universities in the U.S., you'll find not a single mention of the RIAA. So, why on earth should colleges and universities do anything to help the RIAA? If it costs them a single penny to do so, that's a penny not spent in the furtherance of their primary missions. In other words, any such colleges or universities that spent effort (money) helping the RIAA would be violating their own reasons for existence.

It is not the college or university place to teach morals or ethics unless it applies to coursework, such as the business, law, and medical sciences for example.
College and university students go to these secular schools for one reason and one reason only, to earn their degrees so that they can better themselves in life. Not to be taught morals. I know I am in college to get an education, not a morals lesson, from my instructors.
The fact of the matter is that you haven't learned any morals by the time you're 18 then there is little hope for you to ever be taught what is right and wrong, period. Which in that case, you'll have a lot more to worry about in life than infringing copyright laws. That fault falls fully on the parents who raised their children without morals, not the colleges and universities. It is the job of the parents to teach their children morals, not the schools.
Expect for maybe kindergarten.  |

| There is no implication to not teaching people morals (other than cruel utilitarian children) the law already makes it illegal to do most horrendously immoral things like infringe on another's liberty. I'd argue that is satisfactory to the function of society. Any other type of morality is corrupt and adaptive to the social conditions of the time. Which is no way to go about morality, much less when you try to legislate an ideal of impermanence into a system that prides itself in permanence (I realize the framer's intended the Constitution to be adaptive, but still...). |

College students are the biggest thieves of all. Most people fight (through legal or campus hearings) when teachers impose their thoughts on morals if they stray too far from what is accepted by the masses. I recall not to long ago a teacher that was barred for teaching 'his' morality. I forget the specifics but the prof was a liberal nut.
