but we definitely still require Ethics as a gen-ed at a lot of schools. In fact, I teach it.

Are you talking about US high schools? This is an Australian community so it would be nice to have some context (or if possible, comparison) so we can better understand your perspective. My high school never touched philosophy or ethics in a formal manner, beyond a couple of mentions of academic concepts like plagiarism.

I mean US colleges.

My mistake on not noticing that this is an Australian community. I was sorting by new.

Edit for clarity: I teach at community colleges (think local, cheaper, and with a mix of trades and academic programs). The fancy schools require ethics classes too, but theirs are more “how do I justify myself?,” which is less ethics and more business wearing philosophy’s clothes.

I took Ethics to fulfill a social science requirement, but none of the schools I've gone to required it specifically.
