Bill requires all Idaho kids to read ‘Atlas Shrugged’
Fantastic! Now, it will be a law that young people have an indefinite adolescent power fantasy.
And doesn't this subvert the whole point of the book? Like I have been saying....most libertarians are closet fascists. Re-education camps are fine as long as we are doing it!

Just curious, have you ever actually read the book you hate so much?
I read it when I was 14.
Mark, it was a warning, not a how-to manual.
I've never read it. Nor do I consider it necessary as a precondition for leaning libertarian. I am very Jeffersonian in my libertarianism.
NMN - the Twilight Zone episode To Serve Man; some people really do see 1984 as a guide not a cautionary tale. Machiavelli's The Prince also comes to mind.
Aaaaggghh! It's a Cookbook!
Zone and Outer Limits were staples of my diet in my early years.
Are you implying that Idaho schools do not require any books be read?
