I guarantee you that if your children grow up reading John Stuart Mill, they will become well-rounded moral individuals (at least as well as kids who grow up hearing about Jesus and Santa).
So there; it’s not even hypothetical. There are like, actual books you could read to them; On Liberty and Utilitarianism. Pretty advanced reading I suppose… maybe we should be working on children’s book versions?
(Actually, as far as children’s book versions of moral philosophy, you can do worse than Dr. Seuss.)
