So he’s arguing schools that protect gender identities interfere with his ability to raise kids to what exactly, deny those identities, dislike them, hate them, what?
It think the judge believes all the above should be entirely up to parents, and schools should not interfere in any way.
I'd not be surprised if he also were hugely in favor of home schooling and private education, as the state is going over its mandate by providing education to such as neither appreciate nor deserve it.
I agree that his views on that topic almost certainly would not surprise you. The Republican Party has been hostile to public education for some time now and they generally prefer that for-profit and religious schools get educational funding rather than public schools. Promoting 'school choice' through school voucher programs (giving money from the education budget to parents who wish to opt out of public education) is their primary means of getting that done.
Florida’s history with vouchers shows us where this leads: poorer students promised a better education end up in low-cost, low-quality charter schools in abandoned strip malls that go out of business with little or no warning, with devastating results for the students. Republicans across the country have ensured that there is little to no oversight of charter schools, and that they do not have to meet many state education regulations. This is ostensibly to foster “innovation,” but in reality it is to make them more profitable, and conceal how shoddy many of them are. In Ohio, as Jane Mayer reported in her gripping new article about the destruction right-wing Republicans have wrought in that state, after a decade of GOP operatives siphoning off public school funding and directing it toward politically connected charter schools, state education rankings have slipped from fifth in the nation to 31st.
