Stripped of its connotation, it definitely is. Any time you teach a child anything it is indoctrination. Religion, moral code, favorite sports team, patriotism, you name it.

I disagree. "Indoctrination" has a harsher connotation than "teaching".

Choosing what should and should not be taught is indoctrination

No it isn't. There's only 180 days in the school year.
