Caring about the environment and worshipping it are two different
issues, and I don't think the present environmental movement, with its
willing participants in the education system, is healthy. Kids should
know both sides of things, not whatever the teacher makes them. Learning
the basics is very important, learning about the environment is not as
important, IMO. I don't equate environmentalism with knowledge that will
help you throughout life.
