You're right. He doesn't. There may have been some miscommunication during this scene:


 * Twilight Sparkle: If we want to keep our land safe and create a friendlier tomorrow, we need to teach the Magic of Friendship far and wide.
 * Neighsay: A school for ponies to learn how to protect themselves.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Uh, more like respecting differences and communicating.
 * Neighsay: The EEA concurs. Every pony should be prepared to defend our way of life.

From this communication, Neighsay thought he made his views clear, but his words were vague enough that Twilight thought she could let anyone attend. If there's one thing this premiere was meant to convey, it's that Twilight and Neighsay's ideas on what a school should be are very different.
