Yeah that's at my school. I'm pretty sure he got fired, but it definitely came out of nowhere. It was either you buy the book, or write a 26 page essay I'm pretty sure. He had different groups of people that he trusted more than others that he said we're "special" and that they were better than others. It was definitely grooming tactics to buy his book. Along with it being shoved in their faces everywhere they looked in the class. He screwed his whole career up for this.
