Not anti intellectualism, simple fact. Look at the history of education, then the later opening up of universities. Originally it was something more - to train the elite to be the elite that runs everyone's lives - i.e. run the world, get the attitude and to think. Philosophy is still a common choice here. Then wider education - and later university expansion was built on a different skill set, a different education for filling the factories. A worker, a (suitably compliant) citizen. Just about no one at all goes near philosophy. Same name of "education", two entirely different results. Politicians have occasionally aspired to equalise those two regimes, or aspire to something a little higher, but rarely has that played out, and has never lasted.
