I don't think it works that way either. Lets take you for instance. I'm assuming that you went to public school, at least for a while. How thoroughly are you brainwashed?
Our public school system is made up of, and ran by people. Lots of them. These people have differing personalities, intelligence levels, skill sets, and loyalties. Students are going to gravitate towards the teachers and faculty that they most agree with philosophically, and they are going to ignore/actively work against the faculty that they disagree with. Brainwashing doesn't work in an environment as clickish as public school. If you want to brainwash your kids, send them to military school or boot camp.
That's based off of my experience though. If you don't want your kids brainwashed, try telling them that they shouldn't trust adults until those adults earn their trust.
The problem isn't philosophical indoctrination. The major problems are the promotion and rigid enforcement of PC culture, selective & sometimes outright erroneous historical narrative, and focus on the spartan aggregate of logical & linguistical intelligences, which offers a rather limited assessment of a persons capacities.

Very true, but not being brainwashed into worshiping the government is a good start.
