13. A parent has NO moral or ethical responsibility to fund college
Paying for college is and should be solely the responsibility of the child. The parent's obligation is to get them through public school and to age 18. After that, the parent's no longer have ethical or moral obligation.

But, I think it's nicer when the parents help out, and if the parents do have the resources I would urge them to lend a hand. But I would offer no judgment against them if they choose not to help, no matter how rich they are.
