A cult at college

It’s Parents Weekend, hide the booze! Better yet, keep an eye on your roommates. You never know whose father is going to rope you into a sex cult.

Such is the lesson of Larry Ray, the depraved figure at the heart of Hulu’s new docuseries, Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence. A pied piper with a devil’s flute, Larry is David Koresh with a dash of QAnon and a dram of “finding yourself” liberal-arts-campus psychobabble. That college students fell under his sway says much about the weaknesses of our postsecondary educational system.
