Segregation and slavery were legal, as extreme examples, but there are likely lesser but still immoral behaviors which are currently entirely legal in various jurisdictions. Plus, campaign finance corruption in the US has distorted whom gets access to all three branches of government, including providing tomes of bill text that's often not read and enacted verbatim because obscurity and length can be misused to conceal vested interests when staffers (whom do the bulk of the people's work) are overworked and skim over tens of thousands of pages.
What is moral maybe illegal, and what is legal can be immoral... so following what happens to be legal today is not a panacea for developing good judgement and independence from groupthink or peer pressure to comply.

According to whose moral standards?
Maybe it needs a get out clause, along the lines of "in case of conflicting laws, this clause is void"?
