Ron Paul visited Ballou High School in Southeast DC a few weeks ago to speak to students as part of CSPAN’s Student’s and Leaders series.

This is Ron Paul in his element. He’s speaking to young people and he’s a teacher at heart.

He gives a talk and then gets some questions from the students. Watch the full video below from CSPAN. It is almost an hour long.

    If you don't teach Austrian Economics ( which is really a philosophy) how would you expect those kids to understand his position or where he was coming from. As an adult it took me years. The ideas of freedom are not discussed in school (teachers get paid with taxes, why discuss freedom). Freedom is relegated to back-pages of some comic strip.

    i agree with daily, but maybe there was a few who were sparked by his talk. I couldn't expect one single person to describe to me the principles of freedom but maybe one or two of them became slightly curious in what he had to say. We can only hope. Liberty FTW!

    Hey.
    Just saw this throught Facebook, and I've been watching senator Ron Paul for a while.
    Even though his speach here at the school didn't get me interrested enough to look up Austrian economics, Daily's comment now has.
    I'm 22 and just getting interrested in economics and politics, and I'm gonna try to look up what i can about the Austrian economic system.
    So what I'm trying to say here is that through daily's comment, I got interrested, and this is how things should work.
    Each one teach one.
    If there are people who are interrested in the same things, we need to help educate each other, and that's what I'm gonna do now.
    So peace all the way from Sweden, and have a good life.
