>> One does not need to be social scientist to see the connection between morality and education . It is as plain as day.

"Plain as day", AFAIK, does not comport with the scientific method.

>> As the world became educated all of the above have been"OUTLAWED", at least in the west. But the women still did not get the right to vote in this country until less than a hundred years ago and segregation ended only 50 years ago.

What you are arguing, in effect, is correlation but zero evidence of causation. Not saying I agree with any aspect of it but that is the essence of your argument. Not exactly "scientific."
Where is the nexus between education and these other events? You think the end of segregation was a result of education? AFAIK, segregation was ended by the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board (347 US 483) and the ensuing enactment of the Civil Rights Act a decade later. Segregation wasn't a product of a lack of education. It was (and still is in those many places that have slavery and segregation) a product of misguided cultural norms.

So, my original question stands, unanswered by you.
