I've been reading some history books about Europe in the middle ages. The matter of the education of kings is incredibly interesting. It seemed nearly universally recognized that an excellent education is essential to a family holding on to power. And even in the controversies of the day (such as religion) children of the ruling class were exposed to a surprisingly wide range of ideas. Including those treated as heresy for the general population.

Because uneducated followers are easier to manipulate and ask fewer questions. Fascism wants obedience not independent thought from its followers. The power should be only with the leaders, it's an ideology of massive power inequality.
