Who Better to Ethicate than the Political Class?

Commenting on a move by some to block the introduction of a Christian-based ethics program in Ukrainian state schools, the Kyiv Post reports:
"There is a path of good and a path of evil, and wherever God acts, the devil also appears," Deputy Mayor Vitaliy Zhuravsky said. "Whoever opposes introducing Christian ethics - for me, that's devilry."

Why good moralists would want to dirty their hands with ethics (the technique of justifying anything you might ever conceive of doing) is beyond me--it's not even an election year.
