Because Republicans hate education. Most of the maga crowd will cheer this as a way to get back at the "wokes", or "intellectual elites".

I can't think of anything dumber than labeling intelligence as evil....

So of course Republicans do that

Voting a convicted felon sex offender pedophile serial liar insurrectionist gassy orange fatman with a weird yellow comb-over and a bad case of fronto-temporal dementia as president?

There's a reason that authoritarian revolutions typically have a "kill all the eggheads" phase. That type of arrogance isn't compatible with someone saying, "Hey guys, I've studied this my whole life and what you're saying is incorrect.". Fragile egos can't deal with the idea that they might be wrong about something, so they just hulk smash anything that might cause cognitive dissonance and move on.
