Human beings are born with an innate moral compass, and a desire to do what is good. Every child wants to know he is 'doing good'.

So, in order for institutional education to be able to massage the propaganda of moral relativism into the growing mind, it must ALREADY have been prepped for it, before it gets there.

THAT is where parents come in - they impose a hypocritical rule of arbitrary authority from the beginning, that makes the child's mind maleable to the idea that morality is not something to be thought of as universal and absolute -that it must be relative. How else can BOTH he AND his parents be "good", when they use violence against him, but he cannot use it in return against them?

I highly recommend doing a google search on "Stefan Molyneux" and "Universally Preferable Behavior", for a more thoroughly detailed explanation of this.
