It's the reason that Republicans are going to get rid of the Department of Education - too many students are having gender-changing surgery in school.

I wonder maybe in a big country like this it would be beneficial to leave all education (at least pre university) in the hands of States.

In theory, but the problem is that some states can't afford to provide quality education, and some states don't want to be bothered with complying with laws like Title IX, and the American's with Disabilities Act, so they have a federal level organization to help out. It also saves money because changes in curriculum for many subjects can be coordinated, and done once rather than 50 times.
