Lyrics The Self-Esteem Movement - George Carlin

The Self-Esteem Movement

Now, all of this stupid bullshit that children have been so crippled by has grown out of something called the self-esteem movement.
The self-esteem movement began in 1970, and I'm happy to say it has been a complete failure because studies have repeatedly shown that having high self-esteem does not improve grades, does not improve career achievement, it does not even lower the
use of alcohol, and it most certainly does not reduce the incidence of violence of any sort because as it turns out, extremely aggressive, violent people think very highly of themselves.
Imagine that, sociopath’s have high self-esteem.
Who woulda thunk, huh?
I love when this kind of thing happens.
I love when these politically correct ideas crash and burn and wind up in the shithouse.
Here’s another one that bit the dust.
This practice of playing Mozart during pregnancy so the fetus can hear it.
It was supposed to increase intelligence.
It didn’t work.
It didn’t work.
All it did was sell a lot of CDs and piss off a whole lot of fetuses.
