Where on earth did you get the idea that he denied christians education? He banned christians from using pagan classics as educators. Fitting, he seemed to think, in that they had demonized the culture and traditions from which those classics arose. He also knew that the classics provided a better education than the new testament, and correctly assumed that people who went to trash bible schools could not compete for status with their better educated peers. In effect, he was daring them to have the courage of their convictions. They did not. Simultaneously, christian society understood that if they were forced to send their children to pagan schools with pagan teachers..this presented an existential threat to the continued existence of their faith.
That, not producing an uneducated set of christians..was Julians aim. Laying aside the propagandizing lens of early catholic "history"..Julian was greatly in favor of public education (insomuch as it was understood then). He just didn't think christians could be trusted with the job, lol.
