"Ryan Turner was standing alone on the subway platform when he saw the punch coming."

So begins another day of high school in the mad, hysterical world of 17-year-old Ryan Turner; a world where teachers peddle Marxist idealogy, pinch-nosed white girls apologize for their racism, and everyone does their best to avoid the ultimate in humiliation: diversity training.
