Yes. However, like most things, I have no idea what you mean when you say it!
Are you seriously trying to suggest that teaching him how to reason, to use science, and not pressuring a child to adopt a religion before they're of an age to truly understand what they're doing, is indoctrination?
But to answer the question in the most generic form possible, I am against indoctrinating children with anything other than demonstrable facts, and for teaching them how to make up their own minds with critical thinking skills.
Seems to me you get it (now.)
To educate is indoctrination. or do you believe we teach our children to be critical of everything that we say or do?
We give them the illusion of critical thought but in certain instances draw lines in society that can not be questioned.
Things we deem 'rights' can not be questioned. Things we deem a 'moral absolute can not be questioned without questioning the person who is being critical core values.
But, for most of you this level of indoctrination is perfectly acceptable.
My question is, if you never critically look at the absolutes of soceity how then can you be sure they are indeed a 'good' thing?
You all seem more than willing to question anything different, just not yourselves. not what you hold sacred.
