Parent comment is perhaps a little strongly worded, but I don’t see it as suggesting brain washing. Is teaching about public health or sex education brain washing? Is teaching calculus brain washing? Why would teaching about the impact we have on our environment in aggregate be brain washing? We as a species have not adapted to think or care beyond our closest tribe, not have the intuitive capacity to deal with large scale statistics describing the immense power we have in aggregate. For what it’s worth, i am somewhat doubtful that type of education would have much effect - what easier target for natural teenage skepticism of authority and rebellion... but it might help soften some of the impact we are having.
