The government school system keeps its audience ignorant and uninformed.
That's why it is government school: 'else there'd be a dearth of Democrat voter.
1. Although the Liberal voter loves to claim the title 'intellectual' for himself and his elites, awarding the appellation as something to be proud of is as false a narrative as their dogma, and as are their elected choices.
One need only look at the graduates they turn out, and the foaming-at-the mouth rantings of their tenured staff.
The Democrat's produced as their expert on impeachment Professor Noah Feldman....a dunce who has written that Sharia is better than our Constitution. A Law Professor no less.
“Some ideas are so stupid, only an intellectual could believe them.” George Orwell
2. The fact is that real Americans, those on the Right, use the term 'intellectual' as a disparaging and less than complimentary term, an identifier of the Liberal dogma-afflicted who will never contradict the collective's talking points.
Thomas Sowell, a real intellectual in the positive sense, writes that this intellectual vanguard tends to take the “benefits of civilization for granted.” The “vision of the anointed” lacks respect for the wisdom inherent in experience and common opinion.
Its practitioners value abstractions...over the “tacit knowledge” available to the parent, the consumer, the entrepreneur, and the citizen.
Sowell vigorously defends wisdom—practical reason—against an abstract rationalism that values ideas over the experience of actual human beings. Intellectuals, he argues, are particularly suspicious of the ties ordinary men and women feel to family, religion, and country. They look down upon “objective reality and objective criteria” in the social sciences, art, music, and philosophy. Their “systems” tend to be self-referential and lack accountability in the external world."

a. And here is an example of one of those 'intellectuals' doing just that:
“And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” Obama on small-town Pa.: Clinging to religion, guns, xenophobia
3. If one is a government school grad, who has eschewed reading, and thinking, he is unaware of the fact that today’s Democrat Party espouses nearly 100% of the aims of the Soviet Bolsheviks, beginning with the worship of government over God.
4. As government school works to keep it’s captive audience in the dark, educationally, they are ignorant of "Aleksandr Isayevich[a] Solzhenitsyn ... a Russian novelist, historian, and short story writer. He was an outspoken critic of the Soviet Union and communism and helped to raise global awareness of its Gulag forced labor camp system." Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn - Wikipedia
Solzhenitsyn’s birthday is today…..and he has much to teach.
Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn, (born Dec. 11, 1918, Kislovodsk, Russia—died Aug. 3, 2008, Troitse-Lykovo, near Moscow), Russian novelist and historian, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1970.
