The Moral Problem of World Poverty

Peter Singer takes educators to task for failing to address the problem of world poverty.
"If we take seriously the idea that the value of a human life does not diminish when we cross national boundaries, then we ought to be giving a much higher priority to reducing world poverty. I have in mind a broad re-envisioning of what we teach."
I freely admit that if we were to believe in a universal morality then the problem of global poverty should be of some concern.  

Since I don't, I leave it to better people.
