Topic 3: NASW Code of Ethics

Quote 1 "It would be very difficult for political conservatives or Christians of traditional moral values to graduate from a CSWE-accredited program if they were open about their opinions."

Quote 2 "The NASW Code of Ethics dictates political allegiances."

Questions:
1. Do our assignments require commitment to particular political or religious perspectives?
2. Shoudl we ask students to demonstrate commitment to the Code of Ethics?
3. Are there other codes, legal mandates, or practice standards to which we should ask students to demonstrate commitment?
4. If there is a potential conflict between SW values/ethics and personal religious/political beliefs, how can we as professors help students to see this difference and to deal with it in their professional lives?
