Agree with the general idea if your post but...

Can we stop using the word "education" as a propaganda word like this?

When people use the word like this, what they really mean is "institutionalized education and/or indoctrination."

Isn't that the colloquial meaning of the word "education" already?

In what cases do people use the word "education" to mean something else than "institutionalized education"?

I feel like it's pretty clear what they mean by that, without having to make it into a political statement of "institutionalized indoctrination".
