Most people don't pay attention. Most Textbooks in Most Public Schools are woke. They are selected by woke EduAdmins and Teacher's Union Activists.

Then there's all the kickbacks in terms of campaign donations and paid for trips to conferences in exotic locations.
There's no reason to pay tens of millions annually for textbooks across the state, when the state can commission it's own textbook and provide it for a fraction of the cost. There's way too much contractor domination of Government at all levels.

If we learned anything in the past year, it's that Corporations pursue their own interests, against America and American Values in many instances. Such as Massively Subsidized Delta, to Coca-Cola. Not to mention import-dependent Amazon, and thus the bias of WaPo, both owned by Bezos.
The Chinese are pulling off what Krushchev vowed to do - subverting America by bribing and offering cheap shit to Bureaucrats AND Corporate America.
