Superficial

 Americans have become a sadly superficial people. They fear change. They lack critical thinking skills. They are suspicious of the creative impact of the arts. They bury themselves in spectacle. They listen for what they want to hear.

Unfortunately, the forces of politics and money have made K-12 and college education complicit in this. From the beginning of human civilization, critical thinking, intellect, curiosity, creativity and courage have been what moved humanity forward. So why not now?
