"It?s not uncommon for former government officials or ex-politicians to enter academia when they leave Washington.
But former Rep. Ron Paul has gone a few steps further by creating his own curriculum.
The Texas Republican, libertarian hero and three-time presidential candidate aims to teach home-schooled students four core tenets: Liberty versus coercion in Western history; how to defend the freedom philosophy; what it takes for success in college; and how to start a business.
The courses are designed for home education, a growing trend across the nation. There are at least 1.5 million home-schooled students in the U.S., according to 2007 data from the federal government."

"Here, students learn the basics of Western Civilization and Western liberty -- how it was won, how it is being lost, and how it will be restored. (Not can . . . will.)"
