Default Re: Literary source for anti-psionics prejudice?

Anne McCaffrey's "To Ride Pegasus" [Followed by "Pegasus in Flight" "Get off Unicorn" and "Pegasus in Space" collectively know as her Talents Series] cover the Societal arch from Psi first being Verifiable Documented, and the Journey to go from prejudice to just one more accented minority in security.

as such it goes into the reason why the anti-psionics prejudice would exist.

Sidenote: Despite being published in the early 70s unlike many of her contraries she guess right about computer ministration and communication interrogates and the effects of what having a cell phone like device would have on story plots. (thorough two of the chapters date back to shorts stories she wrote in 1969)

Footnote: Get off the Unicorn was meant to be Get of the Unicorn and the printer [not the publisher] not recongizing that meaning of Get, though they were catching a typo and changed the Title to Get off the Unicorn at the last moment.
