Is it abusive to raise your children to believe false information?

Should it be considered abuse, for example, if a parent raises their child to believe that 1 + 1 = 4363 or that the earth is flat? (I know that it's not physical abuse, but it could be seen as a form of negligence.) Note that when I'm saying 'false', I'm not referring to things that are *totally* unprovable (i.e. without any concrete evidence supporting or opposing it). If someone wants to raise their kids to believe that god is a giant pumpkin, for instance, that's not what I'm referring to with this question.
