Robert, your outrage towards Amy's comment about US fostering creativity strikes me as unusual.

The current dogma, whether true or not, is that the US educational system fosters creativity. I remember a few years ago, when I was working for a Korean CEO- I was complaining about my staff and his reply was a somewhat flippant "yeah but you went to american schools so you know how to think for yourself". He had just come from Korea... my belief is that he had this perception about the American system before he came here.

I looked for an article to support this common perception that american schools teach creativity. I did come up with this which conveys that message as subtext only.

Chinese schools get creative

High standards are the norm in this Chinese school. But can students think creatively?
