An uneducated populace is generally easier to control - the easier it is to threaten their livelihood, the harder it is for them to rise up. Further, there's a clear correlation with education and what political ideologies you're likely to vote for. And, of course, if you long for the "good old days" when society was run by white christian men, then why would you want to help anyone else?
