And why was Twilight so insistent on enforcing those rules in the first place? Because of Neighsay's standards. You AND GoldenLine cite this line:


 * Neighsay: Because you failed to meet the EEA's standards?

And what did Neighsay say earlier in the episode?


 * Neighsay: A school for ponies to learn how to protect themselves.
 * [...]
 * Neighsay: Every pony should be prepared to defend our way of life.

And after the line above?


 * Neighsay: Perhaps if you had had higher standards for who was admitted, this could have been avoided.

And in the next episode?


 * Neighsay: Those dangerous and unpredictable "students" put ponies' lives in danger!
 * [...]
 * Neighsay: Allowing all of these creatures to attend your school, changing the rules for them – it simply won't work!

Obviously, the "no non-ponies allowed" stipulation is a large part of those standards that Neighsay upholds, and a large part of why the school was closed to begin with.
