No it isn‘t [0] and even if it were it‘s not about truth or falsehood but about right or wrong and in any case: „at all times“ cannot mean changing the past and artifacts of the past. The past already happened and cannot be changed and products of the past likewise already happened.

[0] Because the assumption that the current society is somehow in possession of the truth is mistaken and has been shown to be mistaken again and again. Furthermore such an ideology would be just the opposite of what it means to live in an open society.

Of course, if were to base our morality upon changing things like science or how society feels about something, then our morality should always change, because both of those change all the time. But not everyone does this.
