Yes. It's a vicious cycle. The very first class I had at a large Engineering University in Boston was taught by a leftover hippy that hated Muscle Cars, ATV's and Conservatives. I was too naive to keep my mouth shut and just regurgitate his talking points, so he figured me out pretty quick since I checked all three boxes.
30 years later, the cycle continues. The local principal is super lefty and has gotten 4 injections. They are completely convinced that they know best because they are "highly educated" and have some sort of authority over the public. We are looked down upon.
Had to laugh when I saw Boston. I grew up in south Louisiana - like almost in the Gulf of Mexico - and really cannot remember any racism. Black and whites went to the same parties, played on the same teams, etc. Went to Boston, was there maybe an hour and heard a couple of people use the "N" word. Crazy and not what I expected. Oh and I got the "You must be a dumb southerner schtick so I played along and told them where we lived was like Venice and we had to take boats to school.
I spent a week training a dozen mechanics on refinery equipment repair in Baton Rouge years ago. Everyone had dip in their cheek and an accent somewhere between southern and creole. A little hard to understand, but super polite. These guys were real MECHANICS that could fix anything with duct tape and a crescent wrench (like the Toby Keith song). I think overall I learned more from them by the end of the week.

The their arrogance is so great, it makes them stupid.
Duning Kruger University, lol
they do not understand that whatever specialized education they have does not transfer to making decisions outside their training....
So wise they became fools
