GenX here from the burbs of Philadelphia.

My high school English teacher ASSIGNED us Rand’s Anthem.

I was just getting into Rush. And Zappa (that’s a different story).

Our drive-time talk show host Irv Homer was a no-nonsense libertarian.

It was the perfect storm against leftist claptrap.

She let me play the live version of Anthem in class.

She’d be burned at the stake nowadays. God rest you, teach.

Wonders in the world they wrought, indeed.

“My high school English teacher ASSIGNED us Rand’s Anthem”

That is cool.

I took college philosophy classes after memorizing Rand’s “Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology”.

The professors cringed every time I raised my hand.

“Kant made three errors here...”

;-)
