Quick question: What did former NY governor Eliot Spitzer do that was so wrong?
An article by Ruth N. Geller in Humanist Network News tackles the “Client 9” scandal with a focus on Humanist ethics.
One person cited in the story is Lewis Vaughn, author of the Institute for Humanist Studies’ Continuum of Humanist Education Ethics curriculum:
Vaughn feels that most humanists will separate the Spitzer scandal into several discrete issues: the hypocrisy unveiled is one thing; the illegalities are another; and the third is the actual action behind the hypocrisy.
“Most humanists would see visiting a prostitute in terms of sexual freedom and sexual choice, said Vaughn.”They would not be so bothered by that.”
Is he right?
