Candidate's Comments:
Parents should be in control over their children's education, 100%. I would love to see the Department of Education abolished and am a strong proponent of school choice, allowing people to take their ed dollars to whatever institution they please, or even home schooling. As a Libertarian, I'm for a free market in education, so vouchers and savings accounts would at least be a good stepping stone to fuller, freer choice. In a free market, some schools could teach the woke agenda and some could choose religious education, according to their own beliefs. Government schools could remain an option, so long as people are free to use their own tax dollars however they please. As with everything, government serves the people by getting out of the way and allowing people control over their own lives, as much as possible.

Candidate's Comments:
While I think it's ethically wrong for biological males to compete against biological women, I do not think that government should be involved. It should be up to each particular organization to decide for itself if it wants to allow it. Similarly, the government should not be in the business of protecting certain classes of people. A full and free right to freedom of association must allow for discrimination, no matter how repugnant some forms may be. Of course, the government should not discriminate regarding its own laws and services, however. But it should not dictate how private individuals and organizations discriminate. "Protecting" certain classes IS discrimination.
