The Cause - Rob Pirie
Please join me in embarking on the Harvard Classics Series by Dr. Charles Elliot. This series dates back to around 1910 and is a collection of literature that I believe needs to be revived and rediscovered. I look forward to reading and discussing all 50 volumes with you as we learn about the great ideas of those who came before us. In this series, we will dive into Greek and Roman history, the American Founders, works from Francis Bacon, John Milton, and many more. We will cover Shakespeare and Chaucer and also some fictional works like Don Quixote which are all included in the Harvard Classics.
We will also review other books on this podcast that fit the classical education theme.
This series is being created for those passionate about classical education and as a supplement to homeschool curriculums. I truly hope these classical works of literature bring you as much joy as they do me.
Feel free to reach out with any questions as I would love to hear from you!

How Education Became a Tool For The Elite | Weapons Of Mass Instruction by John Gatto
This book changed the way I view the world. Everything I thought I knew about our public school system and compulsory education was a lie. Weapons Of Mass Instruction will illuminate things you always felt but never quite understood. This book will leave you pondering its contents for weeks and months after reading it. It is controversial and it may make you angry. It may even change the way you educate your family. Mr. Gatto does a great job at laying the issues out before you and allowing you to see for yourself what the political and economic elite have put us all through. I hope you enjoy the video.
