　　①“Intellect 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.

　　②From the beginning of our history, says Hofstadter, our democratic and populist urges have driven us to reject anything that smells of elitism.

　　③Practicality, common sense, and native intelligence have been considered more noble qualities than anything you could learn from a book.
