I think a large part of it is that education isn't as valued as it should be here in the states. In fact, in some circles getting a college education makes you an elitist. For some reason many Americans take pride in their ignorance. America will be a Mecca of ignorance until this mindset changes.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
