Why are intellectuals hated by the Religious right in America?

Asked by Fausnaught (373points) March 19th, 2010

Conservative media have made no bones about their opposition to intellectualism and education and recently the Texas Board of Education dropped the great American Intellectual, Thomas Jefferson from their text books and replaced him with Protestant Reformation leader, John Calvin. Is this a growing trend or a lucky strike for evangelicals?
