Meanwhile states across the country are passing laws threatening teachers with firing or criminal penalties for teaching the "wrong" things, which exerts its own kind of influence which isn't subtle.

Some states are. By no means do these comprise any set of states that affect a majority of Americans.

Well, as long as it's not a "majority" but instead a large minority of tens of millions or more then I guess it's not worth thinking about. What's more, as we all know, American government is structured in such a way that representatives of a minority of Americans are never able to force through unpopular measures.
