Its not uncommon for former government officials or politicians to enter academia when they leave Washington. <\/p>\n
Former Rep. Ron Paul has gone a few steps further by creating his very own curriculum. <\/p>\n
The Texas Republican, libertarian hero and three-time presidential candidate aims to teach home-schooled students four core tenets: liberty vs. coercion, how to defend the freedom philosophy, what it takes for success in college, and how to start a home business. <\/p>\n
The courses, available at ronpaulcurriculum.com, are free through fifth grade. They will rely on primary source texts rather than the traditional textbooks used in American public schools. <\/p>\n
Textbooks are screened by committees. They dumb down the material, said Gary North, the director of curriculum development for the Ron Paul curriculum and a former research assistant to the congressman during his time in office. <\/p>\n
By the end of the curriculum, Mr. North said, your child should be able to do the following: speak in public and speak confidently; write effectively; run a website; operate a YouTube channel; understand mathematics and have mastered other skills, including an understanding of freedom, liberty and the foundations of the American government and economy. <\/p>\n
On the curriculum website, Mr. Paul also offers his own 100 percent money-back guarantee if parents arent satisfied with the courses. <\/p>\n
I am confident that most students will see the value of it. But no one can please everyone, as I discovered in Congress, Mr. Paul said. <\/p>\n
Parents can enroll their children beginning on Sept. 2, according to the website. <\/p>\n
