The hosts argue that the influx of student loan money has corrupted higher education by turning students into "customers" whose feelings must be protected. An essay by a professor describes how the fear of poor evaluations and tenure denial prevents educators from challenging student beliefs. This environment is compared to the "lifestyle" marketing used by ISIS to recruit disillusioned youth who lack economic prospects.
