How do they “get it”?

In Classical Athens, people learned about gods and heroes through looking at tapestries and paintings, mosaics and statues; and by hearing poets and philosophers… Not to forget through conversations and bed-time stories.
In the Middle Ages, people learned about Jesus and the saints through looking at tapestries and paintings, stained-glass windows and statues; and by hearing troubadours and friars… Not to forget through conversations and bed-time stories.
In 21st century America, people surf the Internet and listen to bed-time stories (for many, late-night comedy television).
During a late-night show, a politician talking about “diversity” was interrupted by the presenter:
“Diversity is a codeword for something…”
It couldn’t have been a joke unless enough people “GET” the reference.
Shouldn’t that tell you about what we’ve accomplished?
Think about it. Think about it…
