Completely agree with your assessment, but you provided a lot more specific details than I would have been able to give, thank you!
For a short, one hour overview of what has happened to our education system and culture:

My question to the two of you is this, how do we reverse this?
I don’t think we can correct the problems in our country without correcting the problems in our education system first, so would be very interested to hear ideas on what we could do to take the textbooks and leading universities back from the communist/socialist/liberals,and especially the history, government, education and other ‘social science’ departments.
Immediate thoughts:
It may be too late. I agree with the phrase "demographics is destiny." Whites (liberals and conservatives) will have declined to 50% of the U.S. population by 2040. Despite diversity training, the 3 tribes, white/brown/black, are not going to unite together in the U.S. "melting pot" for peace. Some whites will attempt to get along with the browns/blacks, but this alignment will only last short term.
1. Forget the blue states.
2. Invite conservatives from blue states to migrate to the red states.
3. Develop seminars on the education problem. Develop 2 paths - 1 for the adults and 1 for the HS students. Network to present these seminars in conservative church denonminations, fraternal/service organizations, private shcools, home school associations, and conservative political groups. Maybe develop a web-site to host this information.
4. Develop a counter-measure to the NEA and the NFT. Members biggest concern seems to be job security. Politicians have a history of appointing education superintendents who have their favorite teachers.
5. Develop a strategy to take-over the state education structure which selects the text books. Maybe make a list of acceptable books and no-go books much like the Catholic Church used to do when it rated movies.
how do we reverse this?

Charles Murray has some good ideas regarding certifying exams. Although he focuses primarily on post high school, his ideas could easily be applied K-12/
Encourage as many people as possible to abandon the government schools. All schools need two things: Students and money. Removing the children removes both from the government system.
Let any student of any age take the GED, SAT, ACT or similar exam. If they score a certain number, then award them an official high school diploma from their local high school.
This would motivate ambitious students self educate themselves and encourage engagement in the child's education by the parents.
Each year that a child is not in school is:
** A year less of indoctrination for the child
** Savings to the taxpayer of thousands of dollars per student
** Few Marxist teachers on the payroll.
** A head start in a career, trade, or business for the student that would put thousands of dollars in the young adult’s pocket and taxes in the state coffers.
