In a 1993 talk then-president of the Mormon church Boyd K. Packer warned that the three greatest threats to the church were “feminists, homosexuals and intellectuals”.
The first two are pretty much what you would expect to hear from any conservative Christian-aligned church but the third, intellectuals, is especially interesting.
Essentially, the church doesn’t want members that think for themselves, or that research and study various topics like history. They only want members that listen to and obey whatever the church and church leaders say, as if the church leaders were the gods themselves.
