Civil Discourse with Citizen Tripp | Episode 2: Education for All
LIVE PANEL WITH CITIZEN TRIPP
WATCH NOW
Hosted by Tripp Gomez, this live conversation gathers educators, dropouts, technologists, artists and lifelong learners to discuss a critical question: what happens when learning itself needs to be liberated?
Featuring Miranda, Brie McReynolds, Scott Bennett, Spwashi, Unbraced Sun and Tony, this panel talks about the dynamics of education, including Horace Mann’s “productive citizens”, Reagan-era defunding, Montessori ideals and AI alongside learning. Together, they examine how schooling became both a gateway and a gatekeeper and the promise of social mobility that often collapses under the weight of debt, inequity and bureaucracy.
Across disciplines and decades of lived experience, panelists question everything from standardized testing to the myth of meritocracy. They ask what society might look like if education wasn’t designed to produce workers, but to instead cultivate wisdom and critical thinking.
Watch the full conversation to hear their stories and their reimagining of what “education for all” means.
