Assignment:
What's wrong with snobbery anyway? Shouldn't people be proud of their accomplishments and achievements? Aren't some people better than others-- not in the basic human sense, but in every other sense? Before answering this question, please read Bannings' 1931 piece on this very question (it's on the home page) and see if it gives you a different view than the reining politically correct one. Over 500 words of original text along with the Banning excerpts.
