One man's education is another's brainwashing.
Jokes aside I agree with you that there is truth and we should convey those. I just don't think I'll be particularly successful about that, to my kids certainly, when I can't seem to get that truth across to friends and family already. Why would a rebellious teenager see what I'm conveying?

You nailed it. The argument is moot, and as parents we get a little narcissistic about thinking we can mold and shape our kid's thoughts. They're autonomous beings who will probably be able to think at least as well as us. Whether you call it teaching or brainwashing won't matter.
