This worldview, over the course of the next four years, stripped Patrick of all of the major beliefs of his American working-class background. The events of 9/11, and all the foolishness that has followed, provided the final spark for his break with mainstream reality.

Realizing that, as a high school Religion and Social Studies teacher, he was "more of a problem than a solution", Patrick abandoned his young eight year career to promote an alternative form of education, the Institute of Unlearning.

Today, Patrick continues his own personal quest of unlearning and seeks to inspire others to do the same.

He feels particularly called to challenge the minds of young adults, who are being especially victimized by an

education system that has been "dumbing them down" for the past few decades.

An aspiring author and documentary filmmaker, Patrick is also available as a lecturer or presenter on the various topics connected to the unlearning process. He may be contacted by any of the various means listed in the CONTACT portion of this website.
