Virtually all extant teachers, teachers unions, school administrators and even school boards themselves are occupied by these people. So you pass a law paying teachers better, and what do you think will happen? You'll still have the same schoolboard as you did before, that will still back up hiring activist lefty teachers. Same school administrators, still backed up by the same school board. Same teachers, jobs secured by the same teachers union. Paying teachers more doesn't somehow magically fire unionized teachers. And this whole system is still going to be hiring activist teachers to replace the ones that age out.
I guess you're imagining a scenario where raising teacher salaries encourages regular productive people to leave their industry and teach instead, for a comparable salary. But those people won't get the teaching jobs when they apply because public schools are not set up for meritocratic hiring. They hire whoever the best "social fit" is, not whoever has the best subject-matter qualifications.
The only way to fix this is to drop salaries down to a mere token pittance. Drop it down to something like $1000/year, to cover chalk expenses. And furthermore, forbid teachers from utilizing any form of public assistance; teachers aren't allowed to be one the dole, but they aren't paid enough to live on either. The result of this reimbursement policy would be the hiring of two sorts of people: 1) People retiring from industry, who want to donate their new free time to their community. 2) Young women married to men who work real jobs. Single women would not be able to afford being a teacher.
