Atheists can't indoctrinate (last time I checked 'I don't believe in gods' doesn't fit the bill, since it has nothing to do with principles or ideologies) and there's nothing wrong with making sure that your kids are inquisitive and will be able to learn without letting others say what they should learn.
You can indoctrinate a child with 'there are no gods' just as easily as you can force upon them your god(s).
In this case, the parent is dictating what the child learns, and pushing them away from curiosity. There is nothing excusable about propaganda, only justifications made by the proselytizer.

How dare those atheists not to tell their children what to believe!
More than one kind of atheism, dearie.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
