"The Moral Is..." - Ethics commentaries on Valley Public Radio

Our daily lives and the lives of those who influence events are confronted with problems and conflicts and with choices and resolutions. These are grist for moral discussions, and how we address those issues influences the course of events in our lives and in the world. The Moral Is presents contemporary issues and opinion in a thought-provoking context, through commentaries written and read by faculty members from California State University, Fresno. It is produced in partnership with the Bonner Center for Character Education at Fresno State.
