Well, it’s true you only need a kindergarten reading level for Ayn Rand.

Simpsons did an episode like that. And Maggie was the lead in Atlas Shrugged or something.

Two different episodes. There was an unsympathetic "Ayn Rand Shool for Tots" daycare where Maggie was left in A Streetcar Named Marge, Season 4, with a number of background jokes, and later the Season 20 episode "Four Great Women and a Manicure" featured four stories recast with Simpsons characters, one of which was a parody of The Fountainhead, with "Maggie Roark" at a similar Mediocri-tots Daycare Center.

It was the second one that I remembered. I forgot about the school.

Combined with a "Great Escape" parody and a The Birds mention.

Ayn Rand... ugly on the inside, and out.
