?、佟癐ntellect is resented as a form of power or privilege,” writes historian and professor Richard Hofstadter in Anti-Intellectualism in American Life, a Pulitzer-Prize winning book on the roots of anti-intellectualism in US politics, religion, and education.
?、贔rom the beginning of our history, says Hofstadter, our democratic and populist urges have driven us to reject anything that smells of elitism.
