Great, so teaching kids what the parents believe is brainwashing now? Yep. Anything you learn when you are born is brainwashing. That's right.
Ok, I'm just kidding. I get what you're trying to say. Religion demands that you believe everything your parents taught you. The thing is, Islam commands this (first line of Islamic Laws by Ayatollah Sistani):
"A Muslim’s belief in the fundamentals of religion (uṣūl al‑dīn) must be based on personal insight [i.e. grounded in reason], and he cannot follow anyone in the fundamentals of religion; i.e. he cannot accept the word of someone who knows about the fundamentals of religion simply because that person says so. "
Yep, too many 'saints' use Islam to defend their actions. It's sad really.
