The Education Committee is scolded for attempting to eliminate Mamoru and also
for failing to do so.

But why did they decide that Mamoru had to be eliminated in the first place?

Why did they decide to eliminate Mamoru?


Before trying to eliminate Mamoru, the committee had already gotten rid of a
girl named [Reiko](http://shinsekaiyori.wikia.com/wiki/Reiko_Amano), who
belonged in the same group as Saki and the others.

The reason they killed her was [due to her poor control of
Cantus](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/4130/13330), out of fear of Fiends
and Karma Demons. In this particular case, it's the fear of Karma Demons and
their inability to control their Cantus, leading to unconsciously and
involuntarily destroying their surroundings.

Mamoru had similarly weak Cantus. Though not quite as bad as Reiko's, the
committee feared he might become a Karma Demon because of this.
