Wendy's right. Confidentiality is not a doctor's call but a patient's. It's one thing for this guy to strongly recommend against making info available to a school, but i don't see how he can withhold information that you otherwise authorize him to release. Perhaps you should present him with a signed medical release form together with a written request that he provide the school with the letter they've requested.
This guy must have had some awful experiences to be taking the stand that he is, but if his approach has validity it certainly doesn't sound like he's explaining it to you very well at all.
