At the very least, they are expected to be able to cope with offing the less desirable members of their community.

That is not the impression Saki's parents left me with
In any "closed" society that needs that much control of information (whether the reasons are justified or not) it is natural that the average member would be unable to handle the truth. There are countless contemporary and historical examples of societies crumbling under the pressure of freedom because they "conditioned" its members to handle a very limited world presented without any sort of uncertainties.
