America’s Cult of Ignorance

Illinois State Professor Emeritus George Kiser gave us the marvelous quote here.

It’s not clear when he actually wrote  this, but, since he’s obviously referring to the United States, it was probably fairly recently.

Yes, as suggested below, America has always maintained a “cult of ignorance,” but anyone who has lived here since 2015 has seen our anti-intellectualism explode to proportions that couldn’t have been imagined before that time.

Electing Donald Trump President of the United States and our mass rejection of science would have been completely impossible just 10 short years ago.
