I don't know what it was like in the 70's and 80's, but smart people seem to enjoy plenty of coolness today. I've seen people bullied for being gay, having poor hygiene, being poor, being opposed to pornography, and being too religious. But never for being smart.
Never for being too "nerdy?"
Mmmm.... I can't remember any instances.
I don't recall anyone being bullied for being nerdy at my high or middle schools, come to think of it, but I don't really recall any bullying period. On the other hand, being nerdy was certainly associated with being lower down on the popularity totem pole.
