Anti-intellectualism Is Killing America

America is also among those nations that make it the most difficult for a larger number to get any kind of degree. Everything's for sale, including education. And if your parents got no money, chances are you're working at Mc Donalds instead of Wall Street.

Not surprising.   Many conservatives I've spoken to justify their views using the notion "I was told it works, therefore you should also believe it works"
