I'd say it's far more likely that the parent is getting upset over 'minor' things like an Our Father to start the day, a couple school assemblies mimicking church, praying for someone in a bad situation and then when the kids get in fights or act up the teacher may bring up Jesus' "Love one another" quote which every major religion has a variant of (for a reason). There may be a couple of times a student asks a question that brings up religion, especially Genesis and Adam and Eve during science class, but I highly doubt that anywhere in the science curriculum is there any relgious overtones especially since the Catholic church believes in evolution and doesn't take the Book of Genesis literal.
