June is very loudly claiming its status as “Pride” month through YouTube ads and rallies, but the ideology of sexual license has left American families nothing to take pride in. Our sex-driven culture is wrecking more lives than just the mutilated victims of the trans movement and the millions of murdered fetuses lying in the wake of feminism. As a new report confirms, it is creating fatherless children and single moms, and with them a cycle that births destructive habits in the home.
The celebration of sexual license divorced responsibility from pleasure many years ago, and studies are now showing the impact absent fathers have on rates of crime, suicides, and poverty. A research brief by the Institute for Family Studies shows boys bear the brunt of that absence, in areas ranging from school failure to violence to poverty.
As the report shows, the percentage of boys without their biological father in the home “has almost doubled since 1960,” leaping from 17 percent to 32 percent.
“Lacking the day-to-day involvement, guidance, and positive example of their father in the home, and the financial advantages associated with having him in the household,” the report says, “these boys are more likely to act up, lash out, flounder in school, and fail at work as they move into adolescence and adulthood.”
Despite the left’s narrative, race-based challenges are not the factor crippling these young men and loosing violence in our society. It’s the lack of fathers. If we want to reduce poverty and crime, we need to start holding accountable the men who can make a difference: fathers.
