They aren’t -completely- wrong. The boomers seriously screwed up some big things, starting with their education from kindergarten to women’s studies degrees that left them 160,000 in debt with no skill set.

Really blaming any of that on an 18-year band of Americans is ridiculous.
None of that stuff was voted in by a single generation.

The "Boomers" did not do that.
The proglibs did it.

Yes, boomers are largely responsible for the mess we’re in. They’re correct there. What they need to do is get involved to fix it.

Actually, we boomers did not start the nonsense majors, it was our parents and even grandparents; these crazy majors were already in the college catalogs by the time we started college. This nuttiness started in the hippie 60s. However, we are to blame of course, because we continued and increased the leftist nonsense. Although the boomer parents are called the greatest generation, deservedly so, because of their bravery and courage fighting WW-2, they did not stand strong against the socialist left, allowing them complete academic freedom due to their strong belief in freedom of speech, but what they did not realize, and should have, was that once the godless communist left gained the majority, they in turn would not tolerate freedom of speech. There has always been a kind of blindness where the left is concerned, we have never fully realized how evil it is, and I guess we will not, until it is too late as history has shown us over and over again, as nations such as Russia, Cuba, and China have learned all too well.
It is interesting too, that we boomers are aware of what is happening to the millennials and voting conservatively, the foolish young are making things worse for themselves by voting democrat.

The boomers were not in charge when education started going down hill.
"Why Johnny Can't Read" came out in 1955. The oldest boomer was ten.

Bill Clinton was the first boomer president.
How can boomers be blamed before that?

And who forced them to major in women’s studies?

Baloney. The "greatest generation" raised those boomers to be lazy, self centered, spoiled, and obsessed with instant gratification.
The fact is that liberalism has destroyed America, and liberals come from all walks of life.
