Given that we know how important ideas are, why aren’t we doing whatever we can in trying to “infiltrate” and overthrow liberalism in this stronghold?

The best action would be to shut these abominations DOWN!
In many counties and a fair number of states, if conservatives and Christians removed their children from the government schools, the entire evil system would immediately collapse! That is what needs to be done. Then education should be rebuilt on a non-Prussian model that is private and conservative.
If Christians and conservatives teachers are truly conservative and Christian they are warning every parent they meet about the danger government K-12 schooling poses for their child and our nation’s continuing freedom. They are urging these parents to remove their precious children...immediately!
Hopefully, you are doing the right thing.
The problem with Christians and conservatives working in the government schools is that naive parents are beguilled. Hey! If Mrs. Honey Bun, the minister’s wife,( who loves her cat and directs the church’s bell choir), teaches in the godless and Marxist driven government schools, they can’t be **that** bad.. Yes! it is **that* bad to send a child into Marxist controlled schools where they **will** learn to think and reason godlessly just to cooperate in the godless school.
“The best action would be to shut these abominations DOWN!”
Sure. Now, let’s deal in reality. Millions and millions of families are sending their kids to public schools. That includes all kinds of Christian parents. Many, many people simply do not have the means or opportunity to either homeschool or send their kids to private schools. While there are all sorts of reasons for that, the fact of the matter is, their kids, along with the millions and millions of non-religious students are in the public schools...and that’s where they will be. We don’t have to like it, but it is reality.
And what that means is that millions and millions of kids are being indoctrinated/saturated with liberalism for 13 of the most important years of their lives...with virtually no exposure whatsoever to the alternative of conservative thought (and we know the power and persuasiveness of group-think—especially on the young.) Well, what kind of voters do you think will emerge from such an education? Will these students be more or less likely to challenge, say, a college professor as they seek further education? What about the ideas they receive from the MSM—will they be looking sideways at the TV when they hear the folks at MSNBC spout the liberal line...or will they give a loud “Amen” and a strong nod of approval? And all for want of a nail, so to speak, the nail being a sufficient number of conservative voices/teachers to temper the liberal line with an equal measure of truth, common sense, wisdom.
Wintertime, you can wish and dream and hope all you want that these schools will shut down. Fact of the matter is, they aren’t about to and this hoped-for expectation, however right-headed in goal, achieves nothing in reality. The education system of America will not die because too many have come to rely on it (however misguided that might be). Conservatives need to look at this as the first step in the ground campaign of any election (I assure you, the liberals view it that way—or no?) Christians need to realize that this is where the sinners are, where the sin is being papered over made to look like reasonable choices (or whatever), and recognize that if you want a society that more strongly reflects Godly values, you had better make sure that those Godly values are properly introduced at an early age into the “conversation” of our next generation of citizens. If you’ve ever raised any children you probably have come to realize that it is easier to shape a child’s tastes/ideas/attitudes/values than it is to change them.
We all agree that America’s public education system must be changed. I say that change will be better accomplished from within.
