Detroit and Chicago are models of urban failure. The decline of both cities visibly began around 1960. That was when a decade of Democratic control merged with the federal government to turn these cities into welfare state disasters. This had begun in the New Deal. But it took a quarter century for the process to […]

Ever since the days of ancient Egypt, priesthoods of various denominations have had an alliance with the state. They trained the next generation of literate bureaucrats. The state wanted literate bureaucrats. The priesthood wanted state support. It was a convenient alliance. It still is. In our day, the priests are priests because they are certified […]

Remnant Review I received this as a private email yesterday. I have been a long time subscriber and look forward to reading your articles daily but I can’t help but to feel sorry for you. You work too much. You are no longer a young man, you are old. You are heading toward the final […]

I teach literature after 1938 by teaching movies — mostly American movies. Here’s why: http://www.ronpaulcurriculum.com/public/6276.cfmThere is an academic bias against movies as literature.

This caught my attention: Hopefully I can energize young people, a new generation, to say that the role of government has to be different than this. You can’t run a welfare state and you shouldn’t be in all these wars. And they have […]

Most homeschool mothers shortchange themselves — in time rather than money. They are young. They have not come to grips with reality: life is a trade-off between time and money. The cheaper you are in money, the more you must pay in time. Homeschool mothers don’t have much money, so they pay a heavy price […]

I prepared this for the Ron Paul Curriculum. It is Lesson 23 in my Business I course, which begins on August 1. Most American teenagers watch TV for 22 hours a week. Above age 18, TV viewing climbs up to 24 hours a week, then to 34 hours. Maybe you do not watch TV. This […]

Senate bill 1177 is a bipartisan measure to federalize education, all in the name of preserving local control. It will be imposed on charter schools and all private schools that accept a nickel of aid. As I said 30 years ago, “If you take the government’s nickel, you also take its noose.” S-1177 is about […]

[Note: the position for grades 3 and 4 is filled. That was fast! I will consider sample lessons for grade 5.] The Ron Paul Curriculum wants three elementary arithmetic teachers, grades 3-5 . . . or maybe only two, if one of them can teach two courses simultaneously. Payment: you will get $25/student per course, […]
