Ayn Rand Ayn Rand Ayn Rand who is not required college reading. Whose father lost his pharmacy to the Reds in St. Petersburg. How do I know this? I read her biography. How do I know about Ayn Rand? A small bookstore owner recommended reading her. Is that a surprise? Hardly. Is today any different than 100 years ago? No except for the mass media that has its sheep.

Every pedagogic and educational reform for the last 40 years, except for emphasizing STEM, has had one objective -- closing the gap between black and white scores.

Not between white and Asian scores. And not to raise black scores.

Simply to close that black- white gap, by any means necessary, to use an old civil rights battle cry.

The Final Solution? Eliminate testing.

Voila! The gap is closed.
