Abstract
This article discusses two major objections to moral education and argues that a professional education in public administration cannot avoid some intrusions upon the personal freedom of its students nor can it avoid a certain degree of indoctrination. It is suggested that the benefits of a morally educated but civic-minded professional outweigh the costs of an autonomous professional.Keywords
