Sažetak
Ethics as an optional course has been offered in Croatian schools since the 1995-1996 school year. Last year a new teaching program was introduced for this subject. All content and values with any religious significance were removed from it. Thus ethical instruction and upbringing of our youth has been rendered totally atheistic. The author of this debate has endeavoured to prove that the ethics program in secondary schools is a misrepresentation and an assault.
Ethics is not an atheistic but rather an universal discipline. The "creators" of the new program have interpreted ethics as being in direct opposition to the Catholic view of the world and of life, when in fact it was the Catholic religion and other world religions which built the wealth of their teachings and values into the treasury of ethical achievement: this is a component and inalienable element of universal ethical achievement. To deny this or to reject it, is an act of misrepresentation, ethical impoverishment and moral devastation.
The 2001 census asserts that 87.83% of the population in Croatia is Catholic and that there is a total of about 95% faithful. Atheists comprise only 2.22% of the population, but they have nevertheless managed to impose the new ethics program very aggressively and through deception; in this way, they have rendered the secondary school curriculum atheistic and wish to force it upon the general student body. This is an assault of the very small atheistic minority upon the vast Catholic majority.
