How do you know it's "dreck?" You haven't read it.
And, yes, most parishes will use it for RCIA.
Anything that includes Dorothy Day and Caesar Chavez and holds them up as role models is "dreck."
I know you teach RCIA classes, Sinkspur, and I don't know what goes on at your parish, but I had the unfortunate experience of sitting through a class at my own parish.
It was full of feminist psychobabble, hand waving and swayin' to the tinkly new age music (I believe it was Vangelis).
Then we got to hear one of the nuns tell us how awful we Americans all are because we "use up" so much stuff and "don't share it with humanity."
Dreck, I tell you, and this appears to be more of the same.
Caesar Chavez, indeed!
