The word you're looking for is probably "anti-intellectualism". The tribal flavoring of the white supremacism-religious fundamentalism far-right spectrum in the US is against undisputed knowledge, history, learning, and facts in addition to STEM.

Or they could be referring to the opposite - the unquestioning adherence to all things Science, as long as those things fall within the progressive orthodoxy that has a stranglehold on academia.

This comment doesn’t make sense at all in this context. It seems like you’re rushing to put down the “white supremacism-religious fundamentalism far-right” before understanding if that’s relevant to this thread.

That’s too many hyphens.
