The National Association of Scholars reports that up to three-fourths of college seniors are being taught "dubious ethical lessons", e.g. that there are no clear and uniform standards of right and wrong by which everyone should be judged.
If such an absolute morality exists that can cover any person at any time in history, I'd be happy to see it - to date, no one has presented one to humanity. In the case of religious texts, if they count as a provider of absolute morality, then our various interpretations of the "code" have made their absolute nature irrelevant. A moral mandate without the instructions to properly understand it is effectively useless. As far as rationally-based moral codes go, they are subject to the premises you accept before beginning the formulation of your morals - if we disagree on the premises, we are likely to end up with far different conclusions.
Sounds to me like the college seniors have a pretty good understanding of that - now if only the NAS did. Link from Fox News.
