If I could change one thing in the high school educational system it would be to require Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged to be required reading for any graduating senior.   Fortunately, at least one college is now going to make it required reading,

April 11 (Bloomberg) — Ayn Rand’s novels of headstrong entrepreneurs’ battles against convention enjoy a devoted following in business circles. While academia has failed to embrace Rand, calling her philosophy simplistic, schools have agreed to teach her works in exchange for a donation.

The charitable arm of BB&T Corp., a banking company, pledged $1 million to the University of North Carolina Charlotte in 2005 and obtained an agreement that Rand’s novel “Atlas Shrugged” would become required reading for students. Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia, and Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, North Carolina, say they also took grants and agreed to teach Rand.

I’ve written at least a half dozen posts relating to Ayn Rand’s books and philosophy here, here, and here and with four airlines going bankrupt and others struggling to maintain their planes, the events are simply snapshots right out of the book.

I’m glad to see this happening as it certainly is needed with today’s myopic generation Y and beyond.
