That is, in my view, very bad. Frankly, there is nothing Ayn Rand offers a high school aged reader that is not better conveyed by having them read something like 1984. But there is a lot of additional rubbish in Rand.
I am sort of assuming the additional rubbish is the point. You don't start something called (I think) the Ayn Rand Foundation because you're turned off by her various rancid neuroses
And she's just really a wretched writer, ideology aside, so it's especially dispiriting.
And honestly, assigning Ayn Rand does a real disservice to the libertarian argument itself. Her books are not a particularly strong or - I'd argue - compelling form of the argument.
Anyway, 1984 does a much better job of expressing the degree to which unchecked and self-serving state power can lead to bad places. Students could then read the (rather drier) Road to Serfdom (in college) to get a sense of how economic state controls might lead that way.
