The reality is that this "Liberal Indoctrination" Republicans are so terrified of is actually Reverse Indoctrination, teaching young people how to think for themselves so they can and shrug off and break free from the very real literal conservative indoctrination that so many people are forced to grow up with.

This is why conservatives have always been terrified of and fought so hard against education: as I have been saying for so long, conservatism is entirely based on fear, especially fear of the unknown, and the more education a person gets the more they know, and therefore the less they have to be afraid of. Since conservatism depends on that fear, this erosion of unknowns to be afraid of steadily chips away at conservatism, and they know it and it terrifies them.
