Experiment on Child Morality

Interesting youtube video I watched this morning, check it out below.



An experiment by Israeli psychologist George Tamarin, involving more than 1000 children aged 8-14. He told them the book of Joshua's account on the Battle of Jericho, and asked for their moral judgements on whether Joshua and the Israelites acted rightly in the matter.
He also used a control group, of 168 Israeli schoolchildren, replacing Joshua with General Lin; and Israel with an ancient Chinese province.
The results were interesting, and highlight why religion should be kept out of schools and a child's education.
