I think the issue really being debated here is that the author is saying that schools want to treat all opinions as being equivalent in their truth-value, but some opinions, such as moral judgement, can have more truth-value than others. Not in the binary sense that you seem to ascribe to him, in your North/South dichotomy, but in a shades of grey sense. What the author seems to be trying to say is that moral statements are comparable, and there are definitive statements one can make about the legitimacy of one moral statement versus the other.
