Virtually every single policy pushed by progressives for the past 100+ years has proven to be disastrous for society as a whole.

That’s by design.

It’s okay to say that two parent homes lead to better outcomes for children, but mothers can’t just will deadbeats into being there after the kids are born, can’t just have kids with the stable guys they don’t want to do so with, and children have no choice in the matter…


They do have the choice. They just choose poorly.

They're not done yet, either.

You’re not allowed to recognize the reality. It makes you a racist and a sexist.

Yes but like many other negative topics that involve mostly black people, if you bring it up you’re the problem

I would’ve expected NPR to promote a gay pedophile household.

If NPR is promoting the idea that a 2 parent home is better for kids, it's just their way of priming the audience for the subsequent show about the kids from two parent households having an unfair advantage and then the show will delve into the many different ways two parent households should be held liable for the inequities.

If the government wanted to fix this it would have 50 years ago…..they’ve known incenting females financially to have babies makes them dependent on government and ostracized males….

Surprised at the lack of upvotes here. Examining facts and recognizing reality is not allowed in todays environment.

We mustn't hurt anyone's feefee's, or let their sorry asses know that they are fricked up because of the path they have chosen in life.

Data also shows education level of the parents makes a huge difference. College educated parents tend to divorce at much lower rates than those who just graduated from high school.

College educated parents also tend to have higher performing kids.

Single pregnant woman doesn't think she can handle a child and wants an abortion. No you can't do that.

Single mother offers child for adoption. We don't want to adopt that kind of child.

Single mother wants help raising a child forced on her. No, this isn't a charity.

Child turns out to be a drain on society. What do?

What if one parent cheats, steals and does drugs.

This is bullshite

Each situation is different.

Great people come from one-parent homes and dipshiats from bad two-parent homes go on rampages.

The key is for the child to feel safe and loved either by one or two decent parents and not have one crappy parent in the loop!

I don't have one friend from a broken home who doesn't have extreme baggage. Most of them wound up divorcing, as well.

I, and my two brothers, are from a broken home. All three of us have stable long-term marriages (we are all in our 60’s).

Sure, a child raised in a two parent home is more likely to have good outcomes in marriage and other things, but you overstate it.

It is why asian kids excel and Asians are the highest earning families even though, ready for this, a minority. Shocker I know.

This guy gets it.

NPR does NOT want stable families. No progressive does. The chaos caused by the unstable family fits right in with all of their initiatives to destroy the US from within.

All one has to do is post the sign again in the Smithsonian how stable family units are racist and unfair.

Many years ago Freakenomics (sp?) did a podcast on this topic. Simply put, having a married mom and dad (wife and husband) in the house produced the best outcomes for kids .

Divorce is the most selfish thing parents can do unless there is a real reason. There, I said it.


You can be divorced and still have 2 very active, involved biological parents in your life.

I take OPs article as meaning a child with only 1 parent involved.
