This evening I was a judge for the Philosothon hosted at King Edward VI High School for Girls in Birmingham. Honestly, that young people from diverse backgrounds could talk and listen together so intelligently, compassionately and responsively fills me with hope for the future.

Both are, of course, important topics in moral education.
