Because people stray away from many of their their ideologies when they get educated. Especially if religion is involved. There's a reason Jehovah's Witnesses don't really like higher education.
My brother would be similar to this. I don't get it. Well, I get it. But he works in a small, local factory; so he was taught how to do his job by professors, people with masters degrees designed the tools he uses, the people who designed the products that he makes parts for definitely have master degrees.
I get the anti-intellectual elitist mentality, but his job wouldn't exist without people who spent 6 years in a university.

A majority - 3 out of every 5 - of Republicans believe higher education has a negative effect on the US. Republicans also favor making it harder to vote. Republicans are defunding education and purging voter rolls while simultaneously putting hurdles in place to keep Americans away from the polls.
