Donor demands Ayn Rand be taught, in hopes as many students as possible learn to dislike Ayn Rand.

I assume.

I mean, really, who knows these things? But it's the only rational reason someone would teach Ayn Rand.

Donors to colleges and universities are laying down firmer stipulations whenever they donate cash, to the point of demanding what's taught in class. The former chairman of a banking company called BT&T, John Allison, did just that. Being a banker, he had a little extra coin in his pocket and decided to donate it to some universities.

But not so quick there, you anti-American, pinko Communist colleges and universities. Mr. Allison demanded you teach Ayn Rand--with her laissze-faire, pro-capitalism, non-government interference mindset--if you wanted his cash.

And around sixty colleges and universities did just that.

In essence, if you've got $5 and a desire to see your favorite Jackie Collins book taught in college, there's probably some school out there willing to listen.
