Bank Gets Atlas Shrugged Onto Reading List With Bribe
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.
For a lousy million bucks. Swell. I bet for ten million they'd make students read Flowers In the Attic.
