The problem with your post is that you have misidentified what these people are. I underlined the misidentification.
These people aren't educated at all, in any meaningful sense of the word. They are merely indoctrinated.
This makes them abysmally ignorant. And when they add, in equal measure unbridled arrogance to that same abysmal ignorance, then they imbibing deeply of one of the most potentially lethal 'cocktails' known to mankind. It is not only potentially lethal to themselves, it is equally potentially lethal to everyone around them, and society as a whole.
History is replete with the end results of such an action. But they have been, and I believe deliberately so, kept ignorant of the effects of their course...

It was intentional.
The press makes great efforts to identify these young people as college students as to signify that they the best and the brightest; the heirs of the future.
