Lawmaker Wants to Require Students to Read Ayn Rand
Idaho state Sen. John Goedde (R), chairman of the Education Committee, introduced legislation to require every Idaho high school student to read Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged and pass a test on it to graduate from high school, the Spokane Spokesman-Reviewreports.Said Goedde: "That book made my son a Republican."
Told you so.
Forcing everyone to read Atlas Shrugged is a great idea. Ayn Rand is a horrendously bad schlock writer, and the inane stupidity of her "philosophy" comes through loud and clear. If you are too stupid to see that when reading her books, then you will probably become a Republican anyway. But if you actually think about what she says, you'll be a progressive forever.
