Twenty students in the Tusculum College Honors Program gathered with faculty members recently for a “book discussion and pizza party.” The group discussed the controversial book, “In Defense of Elitism” by William Henry III.
The book advocates a return to a stronger sense of personal responsibility and recognition that while individuals may all be equal in the eyes of the law, they have quite different abilities, a fact that needs to be acknowledged and adapted to.
Ron McCallister, director of the School of Arts and Humanities, led the discussion. The Honors Program plans to hold additional book discussion events in the future.
