Interesting group and should be especially so for students seeking respite from the usual. They weren't allowed to form at Hamilton College, cuz capitalism and other icky stuff, so they went off campus.

On  the education front:

--Mainstream colleges/universities have become ridiculously expensive, for what you get

--Non-traditional, distance learning methods would give the benefits of most science/engineering/technology majors

--Parents themselves must rebel. Stop spending the money to send your young adults to be brainwashed.

--Parents must stay engaged with their college level children. Certainly cut them off financially if they insist on leftist pursuits.

--Parents must insist on majors which have viable self-support prospects, not arts, music, theater, psychology, etc.

There you have a problem of lab work, if nothing else.

You would think so but that doesn't seem to be much the case. Having the right school name on the sheepskin is what matters.

Maybe the parents would rather lobby for forgiving the student loans.

They should prepare for some viable vocation.
