Someone with Sophophobia, the Fear of learning, is a Sophophobe. Someone with Epistemophobia, the Fear of knowledge, is a Epistemophobe. Such a person may as result also suffer from Scolionophobia- Fear of school, Ideophobia- Fear of ideas, or even Phronemophobia, the Fear of thinking. Being here, playing AskFunTrivia, there is little chance of suffering from these. If anything we may have Athazagoraphobia, the Fear of forgetting. As I searched for this answer I noticed that there were often several terms used for the same, or similar, fears, depending on the root word. So there may be other correct answers found for this.
