Is it acceptable to remove latex paint from cedar siding with a wire wheel
attachment for a drill?

Yes I am aware there are other methods for doing this, but I'm just curious
about using a wire wheel - something like this

That's not the one I'm thinking of, but gives you an idea of what I'm
talking about.

I think it would remove as much siding as it does paint.

Check the paint for lead. If it is LBP, then definitely don't do it.
You'll have a disaster on your hands that could easily contaminate
your children or grandchildren.

Lead? In Latex paint?

And why shouldn't his children have all the opportunities he had?

Lead was used until approx. 30 years ago in traditional
oil-based paints, possibly never in latex/alkyd paints
(new in the 1960s.)

The practical point, however, is that whenever sanding
or scraping we should avoid inhaling any powdered debris,
i.e. wear the right sort of nose/mouth mask.
