I grew up fundamentalist and went to church schools until mid-college, after which I eventually went to grad school. It was about this time I started noticing the distinctive anti-academia, anti-intellectual impulse within the fundamentalist world. I would hear sermons and read articles in which academia was attacked on a variety of levels but most hilariously as being centers of “group think”, where diversity was supposedly not allowed, etc.

This was quite hiliarious in my view as the only group think and absence of diversity I noticed was in church.
