Who does a modern secondary and higher school produce - independent, creative, professional professionals or weak, faceless neurotic ignoramuses? What is multiculturalism: an attempt to make the world fairer, more diverse and brighter, or a concession to the savagery of uncivilized peoples and a step back on the road to progress?

Ayn Rand answers these and other provocative questions with her characteristic uncompromising and powerful arguments, enlisting the support of her ally - reason.
