Making Ayn Rand Required Reading And Other Odd State Bills | TIME.com: "Idaho: Making Ayn Rand required reading

Republican State Sen. John Goedde has introduced a bill that would require students to read “and comprehend” super-libertarian Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged before they could graduate from public high schools. Comprehension would be gauged by a state-approved test. Goedde told the Idaho Spokesman-Review that his bill is more symbolic than serious, however, designed to show the State Board of Education that lawmakers have power over what happens in schools. “It was a shot over their bow,” he said, “just to let them know that there’s another way to adopt high school graduation requirements.”"
