I'm sorry, it sounds like you had a really negative childhood, at least in regards to your relationships with some of your peers.

I would argue that you, as the intellectual elite, are only leaning into and confirming their bias, and that perhaps a good way to begin to help reform the anti-intellectualism of America would be to try to have compassion for the people far beneath you, like the security guard. Otherwise, those people could have even greater anti-intellectual mindsets.

It's also a little odd to me to be willing to persecute or punish through inaction adults for their actions as children.
