That’s very amusing considering how The Fountainhead was revered and and loudly pitched by dozens of HS classmates who ended up at Ivy/peer elite colleges from my graduating HS class.
And Ayn Randists are still having no issues getting admitted considering the several younger HS alums I’ve met at HS alum gatherings who are current/recent Ivy/peer elite college students/alums.
Several were prominent members(officers) or even presidents of the HS and college Libertarian/Ayn Randist campus organizations and all were out, loud, and proud about their political beliefs. No shrinking violets exhibiting behaviors showing they were ashamed or fearful of reactions from others to their expressed beliefs here.
