I would argue that there is a correlation between education and violence. I would extend that to suggest that there is even a causal relationship between the two. Education gives an individual the tools to become resilient to "brainwashing" - it does not always give additional perspectives, but allows an individual to create and interpret new perspectives.

I would argue that you are not advocating education but freedom. Freedom of though gives the ability to resist brainwashing. What good is education if you are not free to pursue competing ideals.
