A Dublin schoolmaster carves a defiant motto above his school-how do you fall from that high?

The school motto that lit his revolt and signed his death

In this episode, we follow Patrick Pearse from his bilingual childhood through his work as a teacher, editor, and cultural organizer, watching how each choice fed a larger project of language, education, and nationhood. What did he construct with his life that made a single carved motto a declaration with mortal consequences?
