I think that argument holds about as much validity as taking, say, Slice of Life, and using it to argue that FiM as a whole is just fan-pandering trash (disclaimer: I like Slice of Life).

But yeah, ignoring that, I think Neighsay's line in the second part (about the school's closure being "for the greater good") answers that - perhaps he really believes that segregating the school, keeping the "other" (the other creatures, in this case) out was, in fact, for the greater good, as he felt those creatures are inferior/dangerous to ponies.
