I don't agree. Indoctrinating is teaching uncritically. What is everyone taught uncritically? What do you think I would teach to a child, for example, without welcoming questions and providing suitable justification?
Of course, there's the "danger rules" that need to be taught in advance for practical reasons. But they can be explained later.
If you're taking about moral values, then sure, you are appealing to empathy most of the time. That's how morality works. You're encouraging people to think, essentially. Indoctrination is encouraging people not to think, and just plying people with "facts".
