Brock University prof: Stupid people attracted to conservative beliefs, prejudice.

No comment necessary.

The research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. These findings point to a vicious cycle, according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario. Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study found. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice, Hodson wrote in an email to LiveScience.

As you can imagine, the RightOsphere is clutching pearls over this research. Although there are those on the right who like to wear such a dubious distinction as a badge of honour.
