Question: In discussing how values should be taught in the classroom is suggests disscussion and debate. What about those students who participate are way to the left or right because of their background? I understand it's great to hear from all sides to really help us all think, but students can be mean to each other how can we help prevent that from happening?

I like your point about having students be civil in debates. You establish rules of conduct with them before hand, and you have consequences you and they designed. When someone gets out of hand, go back to the rules you wrote together. You have to be civil. Leaders have to argue their points even when they are passionate about them, and in public, there are rules of conduct for debates. You could bring some in as a model for students to look at before hand as well.
As a teacher, you must list the pros and cons of both sides, and then have the students try to come to consensus if possible. Otherwise, let them figure out where they stand. That will change over time anyway--as they learn more and more. They must act justly though. You can enforce that ethic. If you do not, they will not.
I like your competition quote here too. At some point, get me to discuss Dewey's philosophy and competition in class.
