I disagree. And I re-read the piece just to be sure; the author is making the point that morality is not being taught in school, and uses the fact/opinion divide and the philosopher's definition of "moral truth" in order to make it. He's clearly attempting to make a fact/opinion right/wrong comparison.

I stand by my statement: The author is arguing that moral truths exist and that we are remiss in not teaching them to our children. Considering we live in a decade that started with the moral truth of gay marriage as a sin and will finish with the moral truth of gay marriage to be an inalienable right, the author needs to make a compelling case for moral truths.
