...young-adult classics. The Mr. T Experience's teen anthems were surprisingly literary: a breakup song, Checkers Speech, is based on Nixon's television address, and Institutionalized Misogyny name-checks Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault.

Instead, he urges the boys to mild outrage - if, for example, you're writing about World War II, try to find something good to say about Stalin. Or even Hitler. The point is simply to get into a good college, by whatever means possible, and not be distracted by the delights of learning for its own sake. He represents results-oriented modernism.
