Oh, please.
Private schools teach this garbage, too.
It was a hint at homeschooling.
The Christians, Pope John Paul II, and now Pope Benedict XVI teach that proper stewardship of our environment is one of the individual Christian's responsibilities toward God, in this order:
"..an authentic...theology: [is] one that puts [1] God and the life of the spirit first, [2] direct charitable care of others second, [3] and only then draws consequences for a just social order." http://ncrcafe.org/node/1091">HERE
At a Vatican conference on climate change, Pope Benedict urged bishops, scientists and politicians - including UK environment secretary David Miliband - to "respect creation" while "focusing on the needs of sustainable development". The Pope's message ... that "disregard for the environment always harms human coexistence, and vice versa".
.. About four years ago theprogressives began ..redefining environmentalism as "creation care", ....
Although the World Council of Churches in Geneva has had a department to investigate climate change since 1990, churches have come late to the debate. "The [environment and religion] is a no-brainer, but we are all only now realising it", said Claire Foster, environmental policy adviser to the Church of England.

Many faiths also realise their potential to influence politicians and financiers. A survey by US bank Citigroup found that the 11 major faiths now embrace 85% of the world's population and are the world's third largest group of financial investors. In the US the United methodist church pension fund alone is worth $12bn-$15bn (£6bn-£7bn). Total investment of US churches is nearly $70bn. Switching to ethical investments would be hugely significant. [Follow the money as usual.]
One Catholic priest impatient for change is Seán McDonagh, a Columban missionary and author of books on ecology and religion. "The Catholic church's social teaching on human rights and justice has been good, but there has been little concern about the impact on the planet. The church has been caught up on its emphasis on development and on resisting population control, but if we are pro-life we should be banging the drum now about climate change." .."

Possibly, as do some liberal homeschoolers. The key difference is: We're not forced to fund private schools and homeschooling.
