I doubt very much that Jefferson would be in favor of FEDERAL control of education, and probably not even of STATE control. I do believe he'd be opposed to his children being forcibly indoctrinated with ideas that he opposes.
I think there was (and still is) a lot of unanimity around the idea that children should be taught to read, to write clearly, to think clearly and to have a solid foundation in facts. I don't think Jefferson would at all been in favor of mandatory public education where they taught the divine right of kings back then, nor of the rights to other folks property and labor being taught now.

“I swear upon the altar of God, eternal hostility to every form of tyranny over the mind of man.”
Yep.
