People like throwing education out there because it's less politically charged than anything meaningful.

Not really.
I see fear behind most of the worst behavior in our modern politics. Education goes a long way to address fear.
Want politically charged? I suspect the reason the U.S. has its current president is due in part to a emasculated voting class lashing out from feelings of powerlessness. Education would have gone a long way to making them feel more relevant in a constantly changing economy/society.

Also to push the false dichotomy that we have to choose one or the other, but can't do both.

"as a start" != "panacea", and education was only offered as one of three items.
Someone who is racist or fascist by definition rejects the notion that justice ought to be applied equally and just about anything else that you would likely consider moral or proper.
And fascism also is not a function of wealth inequality. Fascism has historically grown out of the middle-class. Seymour Martin Lipset identified fascism as "Extremismus der Mitte" in Germany. It's well at home in the petite bourgeoisie or in the US I guess you'd say the suburban middle class.
