No. Academe not only embraces moral relativity and multiculturalism, but 
celebrates it with a passion. To the professorship, no culture can do 
anything wrong, nor do we have any right to judge other cultures (America 
excepted). That's what our kids are being taught.The MOQ tells quite a 
different story. "Cultures can be graded and judged morally according to 
their contribution to the evolution of life." (Lila, 24) To academe, that's 
blasphemy.
