Dear Mr. Kristof
I read your opinionated article in class, “Obama and the War on Brains.” I thought it was a terrible article I really did not like it. There are may reasons why I did not like your article, one of the main reasons is that you presented yourself as an overly confident writer. This article is offensive; you make the American nation seem like a bunch of idiots which is far from the truth.
Your article was also overly bias, and very unprofessional.
I also find your article to be a bit racist, as you say the stereotype of a black man is a pointy-head ivory tower elitist. Everyone has a freedom of speech but to put down other people is shameful.
I also totally disagree with your statement, that intellectuals are full of them selves as well as ideas. If some one is smart they have the right to be smart, and not be judged.
As for you theory that American presidents hide their intellectuality is total hogwash. Being smart doesn’t hurt you; it actually can help you in many things. It also does not make you look weak in any way; it actually makes you stronger enabling you to make good decisions.
Over all I think you just ended up criticizing all the people in your article. The truth is your no better then any of those people so don’t criticize them on how smart they are or what their race is.
I’m sorry to be this harsh, but its the only way to get my opinion across.
Yours sincerely
