My answer is a resounding YES. Public schools all across America have become more than places to learn reading, writing, & arithmetic.
They are (and have been for decades) leftwing indoctrination factories. I went through public schools from 1st grade to a college bachelor's degree, and found them to be exactly that way. A semester of graduate school at a state university wasn't much better.

Interesting how it took me decades to unravel myself from all of this indoctrination, and begin to see things clearly. In 1988, I recall my 2 kids saying that they like Michael Dukakis for president over George Bush. Back then, in the classrooms they got teachers advocating for Dukakis. I even went to the polls & voted for Dukakis, all without any of us ever hearing one word about Willie Horton.

The difference was stark, but many people never got the message.
Bush supported the death penalty for first-degree murder, and Dukakis not only opposed the death penalty, but also allowed first-degree murderers to have weekend passes from prison. Willie Horton murdered a boy in a robbery, stabbing him nineteen times. Despite the life sentence, Horton received ten weekend passes from prison. Horton fled, kidnapping a young couple, stabbing the man and repeatedly raping his girlfriend.

So is the situation in public schools any better now than it was in the 1980s ? I think not. It might even be worse, with all the TDS and crazy woke ideologies floating around.

Maybe the answer is homeschooling. Get the kids away from the indoctrinators and teach them yourselves. Millions of people are going that route nowadays.
And I wonder if these schools ought possibly be defunded.

Should private schools be investigated for political bias?

Many private schools, particularly religious or "classical" institutions, promote a specific set of values, such as traditional education or, conversely, a focus on social justice.

Evidence suggests that while not uniform, some private school environments can influence voting habits, such as a higher tendency to vote conservative.

Private schools are about the same as political organizations. They can say anything they want within legal limits. Of course they cant slander, libel, incite riots, copyright infringement, but with politics they are free to say whatever they like, and the public isn't paying for it.

It doesn’t take an investigation to determine that our public schools across the country have become left wing indoctrination centers. We’ve known this for years. We watched it happen and did nothing but complain.

Many urban and inner city schools graduate students who read, write and do general math at a 7th grade level.

It’s trending across the country: students protesting during school hours, and they’re starting to hit closer to home.

Correct, but they could get A's on exams about leftwing talking points.

You actually do need to lead an independent investigation.

Some Arizona high schools cancelled classes because the teachers decided to protest ICE. Apparently marching with the students teaching them that ICE was the Gestapo was more important than their job.
