The Rightful Role of Morality in Politics

7:30pm to 9:30pm, Dagget Lounge, Thorne Hall, Bowdoin College, 255 Maine Street, Brunswick, Maine

Can politicians separate their personal morals from their professional? Should they? Are honesty and trustworthiness obstacles to political success? Have our moral standards slipped over time?

With the neighbors and peers that make up our greater Brunswick & Bowdoin community, we will ask which of our community moral standards should extend to our politics.
