Abstract
Comedian George Carlin's politically charged act “Life is Worth Losing” contained a segment on the American dream. Carlin provided an extensive summation of education within a three minute and fifteen-second monologue. A summation of education using politically charged rhetoric ending with laughter asserts that a refurbished education is essential. Carlin's explicit content regarding education argued that the sole purpose is to produce “obedient workers” without critical thinking. Implications of Carlin's Freirean approach to this pedagogical perception opened a rhetorical analysis of “why education will never be fixed and why it will never be better,” The purpose of this chapter is to personify and present CRT as a concept on trial, shifting to ideas provided for educators to enhance the social and political consciousness of learners for the future of social justice and equity in education.
